What are the symptoms of a faulty valve oil seal?
1 Answers
Symptoms of a damaged valve oil seal are as follows: 1. The engine burns oil and emits blue smoke; 2. Severe carbon buildup on the spark plugs, leading to reduced engine power; 3. Decreased sealing performance results in insufficient cylinder pressure, causing reduced engine power; 4. Accelerated oil consumption, and in severe cases, it can directly lead to engine seizure due to lubrication and cooling failure. Causes of valve oil seal damage are as follows: 1. During assembly, if the threads or splines are not aligned properly, the misaligned parts will leak oil due to poor sealing, also damaging the oil seal itself; 2. The tightness of the spring does not meet the technical requirements. If too tight, it will cause improper fit between the oil seal and the rotating shaft, leading to abnormal wear. If too loose, it will result in insufficient pressure to seal properly, failing to achieve the desired sealing effect.
