Disadvantages of the Honda B16B engine
This engine has no weak points despite the level of forcing;
periodically starts to breach the cylinder head gasket after 150–200 thousand kilometers;
There are no hydraulic lifters here, and valve adjustment is necessary every 40,000 kilometers. Keep an eye on the timing belt’s condition; its resource is 90,000 kilometers, and the valve bends with a break.
