  2. Leak-down tester - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leak-down_tester

    A locomotive engine which gives a leak-down of 10% on a leak-down tester is virtually perfectly sealed while the same tester giving a 10% reading on a model airplane engine indicates a catastrophic leak. With a non-turbulent .040" orifice, and with a cylinder leakage effective orifice size of .040", leakage would be 50% at any pressure.

  3. Head gasket - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head_gasket

    If the combustion gases are leaking into the cooling system, this reduces the effectiveness of the cooling system and can cause the engine to overheat. In other occurrences the gases can leak into small spaces between the gasket and either the cylinder head or engine block traps those gases, and then released when the engine is turned off.

  4. Break-in (mechanical run-in) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Break-in_(mechanical_run-in)

    The break-in period required has changed over the years with improved piston ring materials and designs. In reference to small engines, the break-in period now (5–10 hours) is short in comparison with that of engines of the past. Aluminum cylinder bore engine piston rings break-in faster than those used on cast iron cylinder bores. [2]

  5. Interference engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interference_engine

    If a timing belt or chain breaks in an interference engine, mechanics check for bent valves by performing a leak-down test of each cylinder or by checking the valve gaps. A very large valve gap points to a bent valve. Repair options depend on the extent of the damage. If the pistons and cylinders are damaged, the engine must be rebuilt or replaced.

  6. Chevrolet small-block engine (first- and second-generation)

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_small-block...

    The Chevrolet small-block engine is a series of gasoline-powered V8 automobile engines, produced by the Chevrolet division of General Motors in two overlapping generations between 1954 and 2003, using the same basic engine block. Referred to as a "small-block" for its size relative to the physically much larger Chevrolet big-block engines, the ...

  7. Talk:Leak-down tester - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Leak-down_tester

    We test at low temperature but the leak actually occurs at very high temperature and very much higher viscosity. It could be that a leak at testing temperature is very much reduced at engine running temperature due to that viscosity increase. It would be useful to carefully correlate leakdown tests with blowby measurements on the running engine.

  8. Crankcase ventilation system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crankcase_ventilation_system

    Two-stroke engines which use crankcase compression do not require a crankcase ventilation system, since all of the gases within the crankcase are then fed into the combustion chamber. Many small four-stroke engines such as lawn mower engines and electricity generators simply use a draught tube connected to the intake system.

  9. Compression release - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_release

    The most common kind of small engine compression release uses a camshaft mounted mechanical lever that pushes the exhaust valve tappet slightly, venting engine compression through the exhaust valve. Once the engine spins to starting speed, centrifugal force causes the lever to move out of the way, and the exhaust valve is allowed to seat fully.
