Disadvantages of the Ford JJA engine
These motors frequently need to be overhauled after 150,000 kilometers and are renowned for their limited resources.
Oil consumption is the primary indicator of cylinder-piston group wear.
Valve adjustment is necessary every 30,000 kilometers because there are no hydraulic lifters.
You will need to replace the camshaft if you drive for an extended period of time without adjusting the valves.
The remaining issues are typically related to one or more sensors failing.
