Repair and operation of the car

Connection of the control manometer

It is not always easy to come to a conclusion about expediency of complete capital repairs of the engine as it is necessary to be based on a number of objective indicators.

Big run is not a sufficient indicator of need of carrying out capital repairs, on the other hand, small run does not exclude need of carrying out capital repairs. The most important indicator most likely is timeliness of the current maintenance of the engine. At timely change of oil and the filter, and also when performing all other necessary works on service, the engine serves reliably throughout many thousands of kilometers of run. On the contrary, insufficient on volume or untimely maintenance can be the reason of sharp reduction of a resource of the engine.

The raised consumption of oil indicates wear of piston rings, the directing plugs of valves and oil scraper caps. It is necessary to be convinced that leaks are not the reason of the raised oil consumption, and only after that to draw a conclusion about unfitness of piston rings and the directing plugs of valves. To define a probable cause of malfunction, measure a compression in engine cylinders (see subsection 3.3.4).

Carry out also tests by means of the vacuum gage and define character of indications of this device (see subsection 3.3.3).

Check oil pressure the manometer screwed to the place of the oil pressure sensor (see rice. Connection of the control manometer) also compare result of check to standard value for 4-cylinder engines 2,4 and 2,7 of l (see subsection 3.3.1) or for 6-cylinder engines 3,0 and 3,4 of l (see subsection 3.3.1). If oil pressure low, can be the cause wear of radical and shatunny bearings or details of the oil pump.

Loss of power, "failures" in operation of the engine, a detonation or metal knocks, the increased noise from the gas-distributing mechanism, the increased fuel consumption indicate carrying out capital repairs the need, especially, if all these signs of abnormal work are shown at the same time. If performance of all adjustments does not lead to improvement, the only means of elimination of abnormal operation of the engine are capital repairs. Capital repairs consist in restoration of details of the engine to the state specified in specifications for the new engine. When carrying out capital repairs pistons and piston rings are replaced, cylinders are chiseled or honningutsya. After repair of cylinders which is carried out in a specialized workshop, installation of repair pistons will be required. Shatunny and radical inserts of the crankshaft, and also cover of basic necks of a cam-shaft are also subject to replacement, if necessary it is necessary to proshlifovat crankshaft necks before restoration of normal gaps with shatunny and radical inserts. As a rule, also valves, as their state at the time of repair as a rule not the absolutely satisfactory are subject to repair. During capital repairs of the engine repair of such units as a starter, the generator and the distributor of ignition is also carried out. As a result the repaired engine has to possess qualities of the new unit and sustain considerable run without refusals.

At capital repairs it is necessary to replace such important details of the cooling system as hoses, drive belts, the thermostat and the pump of cooling liquid. The radiator should be surveyed on tightness and purity of internal channels (see subsection 4.5). If you bought the repair engine, or the block of cylinders of an incomplete complete set, some suppliers do not give a guarantee on operation of these units without high-quality washing of a radiator. At capital repairs of the engine it is also recommended to replace the oil pump.

It is necessary to address in workshops of car service only after full dismantling of the engine and check of a condition of all details, especially the block of cylinders to solve which operations on service and repair will be carried out in workshops.

In summary we will note that assembly of any units should be carried out with all care in the pure room to avoid further failures of the repaired engine and to ensure its reliable functioning.
