Does Misfiring Easily Cause Cylinder Scoring?
1 Answers
Misfiring generally does not cause engine cylinder scoring. Cylinder scoring in an engine occurs due to insufficient engine oil or excessively high engine temperatures. Below is some information about automotive engine oil: The engine cannot operate without engine oil, as it serves functions such as lubrication, cleaning, sealing, heat dissipation, buffering, and rust prevention within the engine. Additional details: 1. During normal engine operation, engine oil forms a protective oil film on the surfaces of various engine components. This reduces friction between parts and prevents direct contact that could generate excessive heat. 2. Without this oil film, high-speed engine operation would cause intense friction between components, instantly generating substantial heat that would be detrimental to the engine.
