Disadvantages, breakdowns and problems of the M112
The signature failure of this series of engines is the destruction of the crankshaft pulley
The remaining engine problems are somehow related to increased oil consumption.
Due to contamination of the crankcase ventilation, grease creeps out from under the gaskets and seals
The main cause of oil burnout here is usually in hardened valve stem seals.
Lubrication leak points are also the oil filter housing and heat exchanger
