Disadvantages of the ASDA engine
- Due to the low power, this motor is twisted to high revs, which affects the resource;
- From low-quality gasoline, candles quickly fail here, followed by coils;
- The fuel pump also does not like bad fuel;
- Versions of the Duratec engine for the European market with a broken timing belt bend the valve;
- Since there are no hydraulic lifters, valve clearances need to be adjusted periodically.
