Briefly about the design of the engine Lada 2108 8 valves
AvtoVAZ thought about the production of a front-wheel drive model back in the early seventies of the last century, and the first prototype appeared in 1978. Especially for her, VAZ developed a completely new transverse motor with a timing belt drive. The engineers of the famous German company Porsche took an active part in fine-tuning this power unit.
The VAZ 2108 engine number is located at the junction of the block with the head
The resulting motor consisted of a cast-iron cylinder block and an aluminum eight-valve cylinder head with a single overhead camshaft. There are no hydraulic lifters and valve clearances have to be adjusted manually.

Owner reviews, oil change and internal combustion engine resource 2108
Owners of Lada cars of the eighth and ninth families love their engines for their simplicity of design and low cost of operation. They practically do not consume oil, they are moderately economical, and most importantly, any spare parts for them cost a penny. Small problems arise here all the time, but they are also solved inexpensively.
It is recommended to change the oil every 10 thousand km, and preferably more often. To do this, you will need about 3 liters of any normal semi-synthetics such as 5W-30 or 10W40, as well as a new oil filter. More on video.
The manufacturer declared an engine resource of 120 kilometers, however, with appropriate care, the internal combustion engine can easily serve about twice as much.
The most common engine failures 2108
Many problems with the unstable operation of the power unit are somehow related to the Solex carburetor. You need to learn how to clean and repair it yourself or make friends with the appropriate specialist, whose small services you will need regularly.
The culprits of engine tripping should be sought among the components of the ignition system. The check should begin with the cover of the distributor, then also inspect the spark plugs and high-voltage wires.
Coolant leaks, broken thermostat and fan are the most common causes of your engine overheating.
The weakest point where oil leaks are most common is the valve cover gasket. Usually replacing it helps.
Loud operation is usually due to misadjusted valves, but sometimes detonation is to blame. It's either early ignition or low octane fuel. Better find another gas station.
The price of the VAZ 2108 engine in the secondary market
It is still possible to buy such a used motor on the secondary market today, however, to find a decent copy, you will have to go through a huge pile of rubbish. The cost starts from 3 thousand and reaches 30 rubles for an ideal internal combustion engine.
