The weight of the Mazda FP engine according to the catalog is 131.8 kg. The engine number of the Mazda FP is located at the junction with the gearbox. It is a reliable engine, but it doesn't like the use of low-quality oils. With cheap lubrication, the hydraulic compensators can start knocking at around 50-70 thousand km. Moreover, engines of this series are prone to oil consumption even at low mileage. According to the maintenance schedule, the timing belt should be replaced every 60,000 km, but it does not bend in case of a valve breakage. The remaining problems of the engine are most often associated with the whims of the ignition system.
