Disadvantages of the Ford JJA engine

  • These motors are famous for their modest resource and often require overhaul by 150,000 km.
  • The main sign of wear of the cylinder-piston group here is oil consumption.
  • Since there are no hydraulic lifters, valve adjustment is required every 30,000 km.
  • If you drive for a long time with unadjusted valves, you will have to change the camshaft.
  • The remaining problems are usually associated with the failure of one or another sensor.
