2. 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.

3. Engine braking - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_braking

   Diesel engines in personal cars provide little engine braking as they are not equipped with a throttle body and thus cannot draw a vacuum in the intake manifold. In heavy vehicles the engine is often made to provide extra braking power to take some strain off the vehicle's regular brake system and to help avoid overheating the brakes.

4. 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.

5. Exhaust brake - Wikipedia

   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.
