Disadvantages of the ASDA engine
This motor is twisted to high revs due to low power, which has an impact on the resource;
Here, low-quality gasoline causes candles to burn out quickly, followed by coils;
Additionally, the fuel pump dislikes poor fuel;
The valve is bent in Duratec engine versions intended for the European market that have a damaged timing belt;
Valve clearances must be changed on a regular basis because there are no hydraulic lifters.
