Disadvantages and problems of the EJ20D engine
A typical malfunction of the EJ20D engine is overheating of the cylinders, which is accompanied by a characteristic knock. To eliminate the malfunction, an overhaul of the internal combustion engine will be required.
Another problem that occurs when operating the EJ20D engine is oil leakage. Leakage occurs when seals and valve cover gaskets are damaged. When using low-quality lubricants, piston ring sticking can occur.
