Disadvantages of the LCBD engine

  • A proprietary engine problem is a jammed damper in the intake manifold;
  • Keep the radiators clean and the condition of the pump otherwise overheating cannot be avoided;
  • From bad fuel, the filter in the tank is clogged, and then the fuel pump fails;
  • Often the power unit sweats with oil, all due to contamination of the crankcase ventilation;
  • Poor lubrication reduces the life of hydraulic chain tensioners and hydraulic compensators.
