How Long Does an Engine Last After Being Repaired from Water Damage?

The lifespan is typically only about 60-70% of the original. Below are three types of cylinder blocks: 1. General Type Cylinder Block: Its characteristic is that the oil pan mounting plane and the crankshaft rotation center are at the same height. The advantages of this cylinder block are its small body height, light weight, compact structure, ease of processing, and convenient crankshaft disassembly and assembly; however, its disadvantages are lower stiffness and strength. 2. Raised Type Cylinder Block: Its characteristic is that the oil pan mounting plane is lower than the crankshaft rotation center. Its advantages are good strength and stiffness, capable of withstanding greater mechanical loads; however, its disadvantages are poorer manufacturability, a bulky structure, and more difficult processing. 3. Tunnel Type Cylinder Block: In this type, the main bearing holes for the crankshaft are integral, using rolling bearings, with larger main bearing holes, and the crankshaft is installed from the rear of the cylinder block. Its advantages are a compact structure, good stiffness and strength, but its disadvantages are higher machining accuracy requirements, poorer manufacturability, and inconvenient crankshaft disassembly and assembly.
