Disadvantages of the Great Wall 4G63S4M engine
Although the design of this unit is very dependable, the build quality frequently falls short;
The cylinder head gasket is the engine’s weak point; it occasionally bursts every 60,000 kilometers;
Additionally, it is crucial to keep an eye on the timing belt’s condition because the valves always bend when it breaks.
Because there are no hydraulic lifters here, using low-octane gasoline frequently results in detonation and piston destruction. Additionally, remember to adjust the valve clearance.
