[QUOTE="papagoines, post: 1063476990, member: 22794"] dem... me no sifu la... just a bloke who like to share info he gather form other sifus erm... to say L5 4piston (JB series) is not reliable is overrated.... its just like old mech worried about newer engine with lotsa sensors & plasticky parts.. that's all... I've seen fair share of L2s with overheating problems alongside L5.... it's boiled down to the halfcut conditions and it's user maintenance habit... use inferior engine oil + filter then forgot to service on time.. when the engine bogged down... blamed on the 'manja' L5... when inspecting the faulty engine, block was filled with gooey black stuff ... later found out the owner never bother servicing.... just topup oil... no wonder it's head are clean! then use L2S engine, put 1000cc block, big turbos etc... after 2-3 month the engine pecah! found out that the owner like to skimp on parts such as radiator (use kancil's), inferior oil, cap ayam oil filter (which explain the oil sumbat)...etc... sorry for being emo... because I'm sick and tired of all the stereotyping to say it's manja, yeah it could means that 1 small parts rosak, then it make your life hell.. for example, there this recurring problems for 50+% of L5 owner.... when you remove speedcut via rsm/pivot or any speedcut limiter remover box..it really remove the 140km/h speedcut... the problem is that, if you 'gantung' your rpm @ 100~110kmh, then the speedcut mysteriously reappear at that range of speed... the cause (well, one of it anyway), is a faulty speed sensor.. that's all... ...FYI, I'm a proud owner of L5 4cyl turbo owner for 2 straight year with limited mod... just recently got issue with leaky turbo and possible head gasket leak....well maybe it because of my constant weekly kl-kb-kl run non stop that make it happened... maybe just my engine wants to 'manja' with me...
