Engine Overview and Common Failures

The weight of the G13B engine assembly is 90 kg. The engine number G13B is located at the joint with the gearbox. The main thing is to prevent the engine from overheating, then it will serve for a long time and without problems. The cooling jacket of the aluminum block cracks due to overheating, and sometimes even the cylinder head. The exhaust manifold often cracks as well, but it can be welded. Quite a lot of problems here are associated with the quirks of the outdated ignition system. It does not have hydraulic compensators and the valve clearance needs to be adjusted every 30,000 km.
