What are the symptoms of a faulty valve oil seal?
1 Answers
The symptoms of a faulty valve oil seal are: 1. Oil enters the cylinder along the valve guide, causing accelerated carbon buildup and oil contamination on the spark plugs, deteriorating their condition or even causing them to stop working, resulting in reduced engine power; 2. The valve tilts, causing poor cylinder sealing, decreased cylinder pressure, and weakened engine power; 3. Accelerated oil consumption, which can easily lead to engine damage due to oil shortage during long-distance driving. The valve oil seal is a type of oil seal, generally made by vulcanizing an outer frame and fluororubber together. The seal's opening is equipped with a self-tightening spring or steel wire, used for sealing the engine valve guide. The valve oil seal prevents oil from entering the intake and exhaust pipes, avoiding oil loss, prevents the leakage of the gasoline-air mixture and exhaust gases, and stops engine oil from entering the combustion chamber.
