Disadvantages of the Suzuki J23A engine
Oil consumption as a result of hardened valve stem seals is the primary issue here.
Additionally, wear and tear on the oil scraper rings may be the cause of the oil burner.
The hydraulic tensioners used in timing chains are particularly low-resource.
Regular ignition system failures cause a lot of issues for the owner.
This power unit’s short-lived supports are another flaw.
