Disadvantages of the Great Wall GW2.8TC engine
- The crankcase ventilation is the most troublesome, oil often presses through the dipstick;
- In second place here is the rapid wear of injectors, sometimes they are enough for 100,000 km;
- Also, the EGR valve quickly clogs here and many owners simply turn it off;
- The engine does not start well in cold weather, improvements are required for a confident start in winter;
- The weak points of the engine include the water pump, generator, oil pump and timing belt;
- There are no hydraulic lifters and the valve clearance has to be adjusted every 40,000 km.
Very possible. I jus converted mine. You will have to replace the front belt timing system with timing gears used in 4ja1 or 4jb1. Then you can put a manual pump and injectors.
Whats the complete list of things that is required to convert to mechanic pump?
Halo Malvin.
Are the all engine parts of 4jb1 precicion or suitable to gw 2.8tc ?
Can a cylinder head of this GW2.8TC be replaced with that of 4JB, that is killing its injector drive system and replace it with a manual pump?
No need to replace head cylinder
