Disadvantages of the B4164S3 engine
- This is a simple and reliable engine, but it really does not like low-quality fuel.
- From bad gasoline, candles quickly fail, followed by ignition coils.
- For the same reason, the fuel pump does not last long here, and the original is very expensive.
- Carefully monitor the condition of the timing belt or if it breaks, the valves will bend.
- There are no hydraulic lifters and once every 100,000 km you will have to adjust the valve clearances.
