Engine reliability and common problems:
The engine is prone to piston ring sticking and oil consumption, often requiring replacement of the pistons with forged ones. Frequent oil changes can help mitigate this issue, as can occasional high-speed driving on highways to "clear out" the pistons through aggressive driving.The timing chain is another weak point, frequently stretching and causing the tensioners to fail. This design flaw leads to a characteristic rattling noise during cold starts, signaling the need for an expensive chain replacement. Additionally, the complex intake system with two sets of flaps is unreliable, and the intake valves quickly accumulate carbon deposits, reducing compression in the cylinders.
The fuel injectors are also short-lived, further aggravated by using 95-octane gasoline, which is not well-suited for this engine. Using 98-octane fuel is strongly recommended to extend the lifespan of both the injectors and the engine. Overall, this engine demands vigilant maintenance and careful fuel and oil choices to minimize common issues.
Overall, this engine can last around 230,000 to 390,000 km if properly maintained, using the correct quality oil and fuel, and carrying out regular checks and maintenance.
The engine has hydraulic valve tappets (lifters), which provide quieter operation and do not require periodic adjustment, but are more complex in design and can cause serious engine damage in the event of failure.
