Engine Overview and Common Failures

The weight of the G13BB engine when assembled is 85 kg. The engine number G13BB is located at the joint with the gearbox. If the owner avoids overheating, the engine lasts long and without any major problems. Otherwise, cracks form in the cooling jacket of the block, as well as in the cylinder head. Closer to 150,000 km, there is an oil consumption due to hardened oil control valve seals. The outdated ignition system of this engine also causes some trouble. There are no hydraulic compensators here, and the valve clearances need to be adjusted every 30,000 km.
