Disadvantages, breakdowns and problems of the LFX internal combustion engine
This is a fairly reliable power unit, except that its fuel consumption is too high.
The only weak point of the motor is not the highest resource of the timing chain
For fans of frequent starts from a place, the chains may need to be replaced already by 50 km
Like all direct injection engines, it is prone to valve deposits.
Try not to allow severe overheating, or the grease will come out of all the seals.
