What Causes Smoke from the Hood?
1 Answers
The reasons for smoke and a burning smell from the car hood are as follows: 1. Engine oil entering the combustion chamber and participating in combustion, usually caused by incomplete wear-in between the piston rings and cylinder liners, allowing oil to seep into the combustion chamber through gaps; 2. Piston rings sticking in the grooves, piston rings installed upside down, losing their oil-scraping function, or excessive wear of piston rings, allowing oil to enter the combustion chamber through the gap. Below are the solutions: New cars or overhauled engines must be run-in according to regulations to ensure proper meshing of all parts. Also, ensure correct assembly marks and proper installation of piston rings, followed by replacing with qualified or oversized piston rings.
