Disadvantages of the HMDA engine
- Most engine problems are somehow related to low-quality gasoline;
- Bad fuel quickly disables spark plugs, ignition coils and fuel pump;
- Without special oil, the engine turbine and the phase regulator will not last long;
- The aluminum pan of the engine not only hangs low, but also absolutely does not hold a blow;
- Since hydraulic lifters are not provided here, the valves will have to be adjusted.
