Difference between diesel engine and old steam engine?
The main difference between a diesel and a steam engine is the diesel engine is an internal combustion and the steam engine is external combustion.
What is the different between engine and power plant?
powerplant the engine with accessory the engine with out accessory
Why car engine designed to prevent overheating?
If an engine overheats the metal parts expand and the engine will seize up. A seized engine is usually unrepairable.
Can the Boeing 777 fly on one engine?
The Boeing 777 is a two engine jet airplane. If one engine fails and the other engine is still working, yes it can still fly with one engine.
How much does a train engine weigh?
The weight of a train engine varies depending on the type of engine. A diesel engine can weigh as much as 250 tons while a steam engine would be about 100 tons.
How do you fix engine blowby?
=== ===
What do you mean by engine blowby in automobile section?
Blowby is a condition to where you have excessive pressure in the crankcase of an engine usually from worn piston rings. A faulty PCV system can also cause excessive engine blowby.
Can blow by be caused by a faulty turbo?
not really. You can get blowby in the turbo itself from high crankcase pressure, but a turbo won't cause engine blowby.
Theoretical of blow-by in engine?
Some blowby is normal in all engines, this is the reason for the pcv system (positive crankcase ventilation). excessive blow by, is the cause of worn pistons and or piston rings. excessive blowby will alot of times show up in the air cleaner box as raw oil that the pcv system just could not handle. If indeed you do have excessive blowby it is a major internal engine failure. Again blowby is normal in all engines, but it should never be so excessive as to show smoke in the blow by
How do you replace rear seals on a350 Chevrolet engine?
Somehow separate the transmission and engine, whether you drop the transmission or lift the engine, it's up to you. Then pull the flywheel and use a seal puller to remove the old seal and use a seal installer to put in the new one. Then put the transmission and engine back together. However... Before doing that make sure you don't have "blowby". That's a condition that's caused when exhaust gas leaks past the pistons. If you have blowby the engine will build pressure inside the crankcase and the seals will NEVER last very long. Check for blowby by starting the engine then remove the oil fill cap. Then place a piece of paper over the hole. If the paper is blown from the opening, you have blowby. It's common among engines with high mileage and/or a poor history of oil change.
How do you troubleshoot excessive blow by on a cummins N-14 engine?
Check the inche of water with a blowby tester 12 inches is wore out
What is blowby in an Internal Combustion engine and what can happen if it increases above normal level?
Blowby is the result of the piston rings not sealing properly against the cylinder walls any more allowing exhaust gasses to enter the crank case. This results in reduced compression which translates into reduced performance and fuel economy. It also results in more frequent oil changes as it leads to increased oil contamination. Left unchecked it can further reduce overall engine life due to contamination of the oil. Repairing an engine with excessive blowby will generally require a complete rebuild along with machine work on the engine block.
Is a vacuum in the engine block good?
some,enough to pull blowby out an recirculate it into the intake,to much and you implode seals and gaskets,causing oil leaks and pulling debris into the engine.
How do you change a rear main seal on a 1992 Seville?
Either pull the engine or the transmission. Before going to the trouble, check to see if replacing the seal will work out. Open the oil cap with the engine running. Place your hand over the hole and see if there is pressure (called blowby). If pressure is building inside the engine it will press on the oil seal and cause it to fail. Replacing an oil seal in an engine that has blowby is useless since it will fail again.
Can a clogged catalytic converter cause oil blow by?
Maybe but more likely its the other way around. Oil blowby will ruin the converter quickly. Perhaps if the check engine light was on & the engine quickly replaced then the converter would still be good. A clogged cat will just rob performance & the engine might not start. The oxygen sensors abre probably ruined from the oil blowby too.
What can cause oil coming out of the crankcase vent tube on a 2006 dodge cummins diesel 3500?
Engine over full, diesel in the oil, excessive blowby.
What causes 1993 Chevrolet 5.7 to smoke oil under load Have changed intake gaskets and checked compresion.?
There are a couple possibilities: Check for "blowby", that's when exhaust gas leaks past the pistons, into the crankcase. If the engine has blowby it will be much worse when the engine is under a load. Check the vacuum lines, especially the lines from the transmission. You're looking for oil in the lines. Sometimes a broken vacuum diaphragm will allow oil to be sucked into the engine. In this case it could be that the diaphragm leaks oil only when the engine is pushing the transmission hard.
