Does a Diesel Engine Runaway Need Overhaul?

[TessaLee]

Diesel engine runaway requires overhaul. When a diesel engine is operating, its moving parts often run under conditions of high temperature, high speed, and high load. Consequences of not overhauling the diesel engine: Component wear: Due to the relative motion between moving parts, wear is inevitable, leading to increased clearances, which in turn causes air and oil leaks. If not repaired in time, the engine's power will significantly decrease, and fuel consumption will greatly increase. Major accidents: This can result in the diesel engine emitting black smoke, vibration, reduced oil pressure, and worsened lubrication conditions, leading to severe accidents such as bearing seizure, cylinder scoring, piston breakage, connecting rod failure, crankshaft fracture, and component damage.
