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

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

    In the past, the engine break-in period was very important to the overall life and durability of the engine. 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.

  3. Engine braking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_braking

    Engine braking is a generally accepted practice and can help save wear on friction brakes. It is even used in some motor sports to reduce the risk of the friction brakes overheating. Additionally, fuel injection engines generally do not use fuel while engine braking. This is known as deceleration fuel cut-off (DFCO).

  4. Blade off testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blade_off_testing

    The tests require engine manufacturers to carry out at least two tests of the engine, to make sure that the engine can survive a compressor or fan blade breaking off within the engine and a turbine blade breaking off within the engine, without fragments being thrown through the outside enclosure of the engine, creating a contained engine failure.

  5. Compression release engine brake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_release_engine...

    A compression release engine brake, compression brake, or decompression brake is an engine braking mechanism installed on some diesel engines. When activated, it opens exhaust valves to the cylinders, right before the compression stroke ends, releasing the compressed gas trapped in the cylinders, and slowing the vehicle.

  9. Exhaust brake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exhaust_brake

    An exhaust brake is a valve which essentially creates a back-pressure in the exhaust system, which applies enough force onto the engine's pistons to slow the engine. In most cases, an exhaust brake is so effective that it can slow a heavily-loaded vehicle on a downgrade without ever applying the vehicle’s service brakes.
