Engine Overview and Common Failures

The weight of the K14B engine as a whole is 85 kg. The engine number K14B is located at the front, at the junction with the gearbox. This engine turned out to be very reliable and only occasionally causes minor concerns. The main cause of unstable operation is the contamination of injectors and throttle. Engine misfires usually occur due to the formation of a crack in one of the ignition coils. On the forum, people often complain about the very long warm-up time of this engine during the winter period. There are no hydraulic compensators, and valve clearance adjustment is required every 100,000 km.
