How Long Can You Drive After Engine Cylinder Scoring?

[McRyan]

After a major overhaul for engine cylinder scoring, the vehicle can typically be driven for another five years. Below are specific details about engine cylinder scoring: 1. Causes: Engine cylinder scoring refers to noticeable longitudinal mechanical scratches and abrasions on the inner walls of the cylinder within the piston ring's movement range, which can lead to adhesive wear in severe cases. 2. Prevention: The engine must undergo a proper break-in period; skipping this can cause numerous issues. Maintain the coolant temperature between 70°C and 95°C to prevent engine overheating, avoid overloading, do not start the engine without sufficient coolant, and regularly maintain the air filter to prevent dust from entering the cylinder.
