Disadvantages of the Toyota 2E-E engine
- Most of all, the engines of this series are afraid of overheating, the cylinder head gasket often breaks through;
- The head of the block is usually ground more than once and if the belt breaks, the valves can bend;
- Also, a lot of problems for the owners are thrown by malfunctions in the ignition system;
- On long runs, piston rings often lie and the oil burn begins;
- There are no hydraulic lifters here and every 50,000 km you need to check the valve clearances.
