Engine Overview and Common Failures

The weight of the G15A engine assembly is 105 kg. The engine number G15A is located at the junction with the gearbox. It is a simple and reliable engine, however, its aluminum block and cylinder head are susceptible to overheating. In case of regular overheating, cracks quickly appear in the cooling jacket. The timing belt often breaks before the scheduled maintenance, but it's good that the valves are not bent here. After 150,000 km, the oil seals wear out and oil consumption appears. There are no hydraulic lifters here, so valve clearances will need to be adjusted every 30,000 km.
