Disadvantages of the G8DA/G8DB engine
Chain stretching and camshaft cam wear plagued the initial engine batches.
Try to change the oil as frequently as you can because this diesel cokes very quickly.
The sealing washers beneath the nozzles burn out as a result of accelerated coking.
Turbine failure is frequently caused by a clogged filter in the oil feed pipe.
Engine hydraulic mounts have a limited resource, and antifreeze leaks are common.
