Disadvantages of the Toyota 3S-FC engine
- The main problems of the engine are associated with the difficulties of properly setting up the carburetor;
- Otherwise, this is a fairly reliable unit and most of its breakdowns are due to old age;
- More often than others, the components of the ignition system are concerned here;
- The timing belt is designed for about 100,000 km, but when it breaks, the valves usually bend;
- There are no hydraulic lifters, every 100 thousand km you need to adjust the valve clearances.
