- You can get rid of the oil burner only by changing pistons, for example, for forged;
- Constant oil burnout leads to rapid coking and unstable engine operation;
- The timing chain does not have a very large resource, sometimes it runs less than 100,000 km;
- The weak points of the engine also include ignition coils, water pump, injection pump.
