What are the aftereffects of repairing an overheated engine?
1 Answers
Engine overheating repair aftereffects include burning out the cylinder head gasket, valves, and valve seats, and in severe cases, may lead to cracks in the engine block or cylinder head. The consequences of engine overheating due to water shortage are as follows: 1. Reduced actual air intake: This leads to a decrease in the engine's air charging coefficient. The higher the temperature, the lower the air density, resulting in reduced actual air intake. 2. Decreased charging capacity: Due to engine overheating, the temperature inside the engine compartment rises, reducing the engine's charging capacity. 3. Power loss: This can cause abnormal engine combustion, prone to knocking, and a decrease in engine power. 4. Impact on clearances: It causes thermal degradation of the materials of various engine components and also affects the clearances between these components.
