FAULTS THAT AN ENGINE MAY HAVE AND THEIR ORIGIN!
🫨SMOKE
🫨NOISES
😭WEAR
1. Hydraulic divers: Valve lifters or hydraulic divers are part of the cam mechanism and owe their name to the fact that they use engine oil to fill their internal cavity and maintain permanent contact with the cams throughout their travel. If the lubrication is poor, of poor quality, or incorrect, the diver does not fill, generating a dry noise. If the oil is incorrect or of poor quality, when the cam hits the diver it generates a metal vs. metal impact, the clack clack clack, and this represents wear.
2. Rings: without metal circles, which serve as a seal in the cylinder cavity, are placed on the piston. The piston moves up and down, which generates the crankshaft. The piston is lubricated by oil, the ring seals the space between the piston and the cylinder, so that the fluid does not pass into the combustion chamber. IF THE OIL DOES PASS, smoke is produced there. The rings can be damaged or stuck due to excess carbon, which is generated in the combustion chamber by consumption of poor quality fuels. When this carbon is nerated, part of it passes through the rings into the oil, it is called acidity, if the oil does not have the capacity to neutralize, said acidity generates deterioration and oxidation of the lubricant, then it leaves the engine unprotected, generating great amount of mud, damaging many components of the machine.
Lubricants that do not have an adequate dispersion additive package to dissolve such sludge damage the engine.
3. Piston is the unit that moves up and down, which has a body called the connecting rod, it is anchored to the crankshaft. The piston seals the combustion chamber, through the rings, in which an explosion is generated by the air-fuel mixture, pushing it downwards, moving the crankshaft. If the fuel is of poor quality, and has excessive aspiration of contaminants, SOOT is generated which sneaks into the rings and clogs them, they are also
