Engine Overview and Common Failures

The weight of the J18A engine assembly is 120 kg. The engine number J18A is located at the junction of the block and the gearbox. The most common complaint is oil consumption due to stuck oil seals. Another cause of oil consumption here may be the clogging of the oil rings. The timing chains and hydraulic tensioners have a relatively modest lifespan. Another issue with this power unit is regular failures in the ignition system. The short-lived supports are also considered weak points of this power unit.
