wrong type of oil 1%
Bad quality of tensioner 99% (All spare parts that are sold on open market are non 100% comply to manufacturer specifications)

You need to install mechanical tensioner.

The oil I use is 10-40W synthetic!Correct me if I am wrong.To install a mechanical tensioner ( like 2121 has) I have to abrogate th oil pipe right?Because I am thinking to abrogate the adapter and put the old oil level instrument from my 2121 1.6.

The specification of oil is correct. But due to some stupid reason hydraulic lifters and tensioners work different with oil of different manufacturers but same API specifications.

TO install mechanical tensioner you need to plug oil pipe or remove T-piece crossover with oil pipe and screw oil pressure sensor directly to engine.

Everybody who tried mechanical tensioner are happy with it's performance.
But don't confuse tensioner for LADA 2121 and 21214, they are different.
You need tensioners like this: Pilot or ISAI

I use Castrol Magnatec 10W-40 and Shell Helix HX7 10w-40 without any issue with tensioner and lifter

Hello to all members.
Staying home it has and benefits, more time for our niva.So, I am thinking of changing the place of the fuel filter.
As you can see in the image I will make two new high pressure fuel hoses (green colour), move the filter near engine (blue colour) and abrogate the fuel pipes (yellow colour).




What do you think?Do you know how I can find the inside diameter of the hoses?

I am thinking of changing the place of the fuel filter.
This action is highly undesirable for fire safety reasons, since the fuel filter will be located closer to the heated engine parts.It will also increase the likelihood of steam jams in the fuel line due to fuel boiling.[:nono]

Another option is to bring the filter back and make only one fuel hose and if there is a liquid the fuel will drop on the front diff.
fuel filter will be located closer to the heated engine parts
I agree but and without this the fuel hose passes in front of the cylinder head all ready.
And off course I will make a protective piece with fire proof tape (like the exhaust pipes).If nothing works or is dangerous off course I won`t procced at this modification.

What is the main reason for such labor-consuming modification? Boredom? [:D]

It` s just a thought as the fuel hoses consume a lot space and more easy to make some other jobs.

Hello all

i have installed ISAI tensioner today )) if you have all spare parts and materials (WD40) it takes approximately 3 hours
Also if you change tensioner, you can change also termostat and cooling tubes. It will be much easier.
You need remove oil pipe (red line on the picture) from oil pressure sensor (big red dot on the picture) till oil tensioner (automatic tensioner need no oil)
P.S. DO NOT REMOVE cap-nut from ISAI before installation on the engine[:)]

Thank you very much for the explanation.I have only one `problem` here in Greece no one import spare parts for lada, so I order them from other countries and unfortunately the shipping cost is a problem.So, the only tensioner it is easy for me is the pilot.It worth it or may I have a problem?

I have thermostat and all the rapiator pipes (I will change them all) [:D][:D]
