How Long Can You Drive After Engine Cylinder Scoring?
1 Answers
After a major overhaul due to engine cylinder scoring, the engine can typically run for about five years. Here are specific details about engine cylinder scoring: Causes: Engine cylinder scoring refers to noticeable longitudinal mechanical scratches and abrasions on the cylinder wall within the piston ring's movement range, which can lead to adhesive wear in severe cases. This may cause difficulties in starting the engine or result in unexpected stalling. Prevention: The engine must undergo a proper break-in period; skipping this can lead to numerous issues. Maintain the coolant temperature between 70°C and 95°C to prevent engine overheating. Avoid overloading the engine, starting it without sufficient coolant, and ensure regular maintenance of the air filter to prevent dust from entering the cylinder.
