What are the symptoms of engine cylinder scuffing?
1 Answers
Vehicle cylinder scuffing symptoms include weak driving performance, difficulty in acceleration; elevated engine coolant temperature; unstable engine RPM operation accompanied by signs of stalling. Engine cylinder scuffing refers to the appearance of distinct longitudinal mechanical scratches and abrasions on the inner wall of the cylinder within the piston ring's movement range. In severe cases, adhesive wear occurs, leading to difficulties in engine starting or spontaneous stalling. Cylinder scuffing constitutes a major engine failure, fundamentally caused by the inability to form an oil film between the cylinder wall and piston rings/piston, resulting in poor lubrication or even dry friction. Specific causes of engine cylinder scuffing vary but generally fall into three categories: 1. Piston assembly-related causes; 2. Cylinder liner-related causes; 3. Operational usage-related causes.
