Disadvantages of the IQDB engine
Dragging catalyst crumbs into the combustion chamber is the engine’s primary issue;
The ignition system’s parts fail next because they dislike poor fuel;
They complain about leaks from the rear crankshaft oil seal or beneath the valve cover on specialized forums;
There are no hydraulic lifters here, so the valves must be adjusted every 100,000 kilometers;
This little resource also has a belt of mounted units and a gas pump.
