What are the symptoms of a faulty valve oil seal?
1 Answers
Symptoms of a faulty valve oil seal include the following: 1. Burning oil: Oil enters the cylinder along the valve guide, causing accelerated carbon buildup and oiliness on the spark plugs, leading to worsened performance or even failure, and reduced engine power. 2. Weakened engine power: The valve tilts, causing poor cylinder sealing, reduced cylinder pressure, and weakened engine power. 3. Accelerated oil consumption: This can easily lead to engine damage due to insufficient oil during long-distance driving. Additionally, the oil that enters the cylinder and participates in combustion leaves some carbon deposits in the oil, worsening the engine's lubrication conditions and accelerating engine wear.
