Disadvantages, breakdowns and problems of the LFA internal combustion engine

Since many of the problems here are from overheating, monitor the condition of the radiator and pump

ICE speed often floats due to throttle contamination or fuel pump failure

The reason for the tripling of this unit is usually in the cracking of one of the ignition coils.

It is better not to save on oil, this is fraught with rapid wear of the camshaft liners

The thermal casing often falls off and the exhaust manifold bolts are unscrewed
