Disadvantages of the E5SA engine
This motor has almost no weak points, is dependable, and is quite voracious.
The timing chain mechanism may need to be adjusted on runs longer than 200,000 kilometers.
You can prevent floating speed by routinely cleaning the idle valve.
The front and rear crankshaft oil seals are the most common sources of oil leaks.
Hydraulic lifters frequently knock when poor-quality lubricant is used.
