Disadvantages of the Suzuki F6A engine

  • In specialized forums, oil leaks and failures in the ignition system are most often discussed;
  • In supercharged engine modifications, the turbine resource sometimes does not exceed 100,000 km;
  • The timing belt often bursts before the scheduled 90,000 km, and the valves here bend;
  • There are no hydraulic lifters and once every 20,000 km valve clearance adjustment is required.
