Disadvantages, breakdowns and problems of the AJ27 internal combustion engine
At first, the engines came with a nikasil coating and were very afraid of bad fuel.
In 1999, the coating was replaced by cast iron sleeves and the problem with its shedding was gone.
The timing chain is not very large resource, sometimes even less than 100 km
The aluminum unit is afraid of overheating, so keep an eye on the condition of the radiators
Other problems here are related to sensor glitches and leaks of lubricant or antifreeze.
