Question: What happens to the engine when the piston ring is worn, but the vehicle engine is still used?
Questioner: @ yayat_h1dayat
Answer: First we discuss what causes piston rings[[piston ring]becomes worn. The main cause is because of the frequency of the use of lubricants that are too long alias often late for oil change, or because it uses oil with poor quality.
The next cause is because of the engine ever overheat or because of the use of an engine that exceeds the engine power.
Weak piston ring will result in reduced engine power and unnaturally reduced engine oil. In everyday use can be seen from the exhaust which is wet with oil.
For initial checking, try testing the compression of each cylinder, whether it is still within normal limits or not.
But there are other things that sometimes happen that there is a buildup of oil crust in the piston ring, which will cause the piston ring to become “bud”.
If this happens that can also be detected using a compression gauge, try changing oil by using an ‘oil system cleaner’.
Cleaner this helps to reduce the crust of the oil in the oil ring, as well as the mud in it camshaft gear. We recommend using it oil cleaner that does not contain solvent. To note the oil crust attached to the piston ring, can cause the engine difficult to start.
