The weight of the EJ25D engine according to the catalog is 130 kg. The engine number EJ25D is located at the junction of the block and the gearbox. The main complaints of car owners with this engine are related to oil consumption. Moreover, the oil is not only burned, but also leaks from gaskets and seals. If you neglect a too low lubrication level, it can even cause the bearings to spin. This engine runs quite hot, and the cooling system is not known for its efficiency. You will learn about the resulting block warp due to overheating by the knocking sounds of the 4th cylinder.
