Hydrolock (a shorthand notation for hydrostatic lock or hydraulic lock) is an abnormal condition of any device which is designed to compress a gas by mechanically restraining it; most commonly the reciprocating internal combustion engine, the case this article refers to unless otherwise noted.

3. Engine knocking - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_knocking

   Under ideal conditions the common internal combustion engine burns the fuel/air mixture in the cylinder in an orderly and controlled fashion. The combustion is started by the spark plug some 10 to 40 crankshaft degrees prior to top dead center (TDC), depending on many factors including engine speed and load. This ignition advance allows time ...

4. Fractography - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fractography

   The crankshaft also shows hachures, which are the lines on fracture surfaces that can be traced back to the origin of the fracture. Some modes of crack growth can leave characteristic marks on the surface that identify the mode of crack growth and origin on a macro scale e.g. beachmarks or striations on fatigue cracks.

5. Flooded engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flooded_engine

   A hydrolock occurs when a liquid fills a combustion chamber to the point that it is impossible to turn the crankshaft without a catastrophic failure of the engine or one of its vital components. The conventional remedy for a flooded carbureted engine is to steadily hold the throttle full open (full power position) while continuing to crank the ...

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

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

   A new engine is broken in by following specific driving guidelines during the first few hours of its use. The focus of breaking in an engine is on the contact between the piston rings of the engine and the cylinder wall. There is no universal preparation or set of instructions for breaking in an engine.

   Two valves bent due to a broken timing belt Failure of the timing system will prevent an engine from running. Many modern cars use interference engines , which can suffer catastrophic damage in the event of timing system failure, [ 26 ] since the loss of synchronization between the crankshaft and the camshaft will cause the valves to collide ...

   A harmonic balancer (sometimes called crankshaft damper, torsional damper, or vibration damper) is the same thing as a harmonic damper except that the balancer includes a counterweight to externally balance the rotating assembly. The harmonic balancer often serves as a pulley for the accessory drive belts turning the alternator, water pump and ...
