What Does Engine Seizure Mean?
1 Answers
Engine seizure refers to a situation where the engine overheats, causing the piston to expand and get stuck in the cylinder, resulting in engine failure. The causes of engine seizure include: 1. Poor engine cooling, causing the operating temperature to exceed the designed tolerance; 2. Insufficient lubrication due to poor-quality engine oil or poor oil circulation; 3. Inaccurate adjustment of the engine's intake/exhaust system or ignition timing; 4. Excessive engine workload. Symptoms of engine seizure: 1. Gradual loss of vehicle power; 2. Abnormal noises from piston-cylinder friction; 3. Overheating of the engine block. Solutions for engine seizure: 1. Inspect the fuel supply system; 2. Repair or replace the engine cylinder and piston.
