What else can I help you with?
Sludge in engine?
Sludge in an engine is cause by poor maintenance. Air and contaminants build up over time to create a thick sludge throughout the engine.
Why do engine have breather?
The Gaseous buildup inside of the internal combustion chamber would cause engine failure, the engine to blow, and explode litterally
Can sludge in engine cause misfire to same cylinder?
if sludge is keeping oil from draining away from valve guide a cylinder can suck in oil and cause plug to misfire
How does the absence of a thermostat cause crankcase sludge?
The absence of a thermostat can lead to engine overheating or inconsistent operating temperatures, which prevents oil from reaching its optimal temperature. When the oil remains too cool, it fails to properly lubricate the engine and can become contaminated with moisture and combustion byproducts. This combination of low temperature and contamination fosters the formation of sludge in the crankcase, as the oil does not adequately break down impurities and maintain its fluidity. Consequently, sludge buildup can hinder engine performance and lead to potential damage.
Will carbon buildup keep a motor from firing?
Carbon buildup can keep a motor from firing and cause an engine to stall.
Can an engine overheating extremely cause oil to burn onto the internal parts and cause an ongoing sludge problem?
Yes.
What causes thick gray sludge in your radiator?
Thick gray sludge in the radiator can be caused by a buildup of corrosion, oil contamination, or a coolant leak mixing with debris. This sludge can block the radiator channels, leading to overheating and potential damage to the cooling system. It's important to flush the radiator and identify the root cause to prevent further issues.
Can an engine running at too low of a temperature cause moisture buildup in the oil?
Yes, it can.
What happens if you don't change the oil in your car after 5 months?
Hold it! Your engine oil needs to be changed every 3000 MILES not 3 MONTHS...?? does this clear it up? Also, I recommend having an "oil flush" twice a year to keep the inside of the engine clean (ask your oil changer) Good luck:) Dave tradertaippan@yahoo.com It can cause sludge buildup in the ring grooves and all over the inside of the engine. It can cause excessive piston ring wear, excessive wear to the rod and main bearings, pitting and wear to the cam and lifters and in general premature failure of the engine. But that's about it, so go ahead and ignore the routine maintenance, then you can buy a new engine or maybe even a new vehicle.
What could cause a yellow residue in the oil cap?
yellow reside on oil cap is caused by condensation of water and sludge from inside the engine. all petroleum products have a little water in em. your engine needs a good flushing and then oil and oilfilter changes more often
Yellow oil sludge on oil cap?
Yellow or "milky" sludge on oil filler cap is caused by short, frequent driving and not allowing engine to reach operating temperature because crankcase vapor, inside engine, isn't being allowed to "boil" off of crankcase and starts to film on engine block. Shutting off engine when it's not at operating temperature will cause it to stick to engine then restarting a cold engine, driving short time will start this all over again. Always allow engine to reach operating temp, it's ok sometimes but not all the time.
What is throttle body service?
The throttle body on an engine houses the throttle, which controls the amount of fuel that enters the engine. It controls the engine's ability to maintain an idle, prevents stalling, and aids in acceleration. If the throttle body is dirty, it can cause problems with the engine running properly. During a standard service, sludge and carbon buildup out of the throttle body and off the throttle blade. The vehicle's computer is then hooked up to a special machine for an idle relearn procedure.
