A Real Solution to Engine Blow-by
Engine blow-by is the term used to describe excessive internal crankcase pressure – a result of inadequate sealing between the piston rings and the cylinder walls, particularly during the compression and power strokes of the crankshaft. During these strokes, generated compression and expansion pressures create extremely high pressure above the piston, and if the ring-to-cylinder…
Read MoreExcessive Engine Oil Use
Whether it is a gasoline or diesel engine, excessive engine oil use is caused by either leaking seals and/or gaskets, or otherwise, the oil is being consumed in the combustion chamber during engine operation. When oil is combusted, excessive carbon particulate matter is produced, forming harmful carbon deposits within the combustion chamber and on associated components. Over time, these encrusted…
Read MoreOil Soot, Carbon, & Blow-by Issues
Sooty engine oil, carbon deposits, & blow-by issues Regular diesel engine operation, including starting, becomes increasingly problematic as combustion-related deposits build up on critical engine components over time. Cold weather only compounds the situation. Types of operation, such as excessive idling, short run time, light work, and city type driving, all contribute to carbon and…
Read MoreDiesel Particulate Filter Problems
– and how to solve them Most modern diesel engines are now fitted with Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF) to further reduce noxious exhaust emissions. Although this is a great step forward in reducing toxic chemicals in our atmosphere, DPFs are a band-aid remedy only, and with this technology comes a list of problems that must…
