Disadvantages of the 10FD53 engine
The owner’s primary issues are the unpredictability of the Delphi fuel equipment;
The engine’s injection phases frequently veer off course due to the camshaft chain’s stretching;
This resource is not very large for the IHI variable geometry turbine;
Keep an eye on the timing belt; if it breaks, the valves will just bend. The crankshaft damper pulley and the crankcase ventilation membrane are also the engine’s weak points.
