Disadvantages of the FYJA engine
This series’ power units are very dependable, but they need premium gasoline;
Low-quality fuel can shorten candles’ lifespan by up to 10,000 kilometers;
An expensive gas pump frequently fails for precisely the same reason;
When the timing belt breaks, European versions of Duratec motors always bend the valves;
There are no hydraulic lifters, and the valve clearance needs to be adjusted every 100,000 kilometers.
