1 Answers
Blown bearing, also known as smashed bearing, is a colloquial term in the auto repair industry. The standard technical term is connecting rod bearing seizure. Between the engine's connecting rod and piston, as well as between the connecting rod and crankshaft, there are semi-circular bearing shells resembling roof tiles at the circular mating surfaces to accommodate force transmission and lubrication needs. The smaller bearing at the piston end is called the small bearing, while the larger one at the crankshaft end is called the big bearing. Below is an introduction to engine protectants: 1. Engine protectant introduction: Engine protectant, also called engine anti-wear additive, is a maintenance agent that effectively reduces component wear or corrosion, inhibits the formation of deposits like gum and sludge. It forms a protective layer with high compressive strength and excellent wear resistance on metal surfaces, preventing oil oxidation, thickening, and acidification, thereby protecting engine components and extending engine life. 2. Functions of engine protectant: Engine protectants provide anti-wear protection, lubrication, noise reduction, increased engine power, and fuel savings. Some products can also prevent oil burning and have carbon deposit cleaning functions.
