Disadvantages of the GM LNF engine
- The main problem of this series of turbine units is their high tendency to detonation.
- That is why it is important to monitor both the cleanliness of the radiators and the quality of the fuel.
- In second place in terms of the number of complaints is the rather low resource of the timing chain.
- If you ignore the crackle of the chains for a long time, then you will have to change expensive phase regulators.
- Weaknesses here also include a short-lived electronic throttle and high-pressure fuel pump.
