Disadvantages, breakdowns and problems of CAWA
The weak point of this motor is the timing chain, it is already stretched to 100 km
Also, the oil separator clogs very quickly here, which leads to lubricant consumption.
It is not uncommon for pistons to crack from detonation, but forged alternatives exist.
The culprit of floating engine speeds is usually carbon deposits on the intake valves.
They also become overgrown with soot, and then the swirl flaps of the intake manifold jam
If you pull for a long time with the replacement of candles, you will have to spend money on ignition coils
