Disadvantages of the EW7A engine
- A good reliability engine does not tolerate bad fuel or oil;
- The first here is usually the injectors, then the candles, and after them the ignition coils;
- Dirty throttle or idle control leads to floating engine speed;
- From poor-quality lubrication, hydraulic lifters start knocking relatively quickly;
- And the oil here loves to ooze from under the valve covers, as well as the crankshaft oil seal.
