A diesel engine can safely be stored for up to two years without use. However. it is crucial to run the engine every few months to prevent potential damage. Proper maintenance. including storing the engine in a dry and temperature-controlled environment. can extend this period without compromising its functionality. If your engine is kept in a warehouse. it still requires regular upkeep such as fluid checks and leak prevention. Additionally. a clean engine is important for optimal performance. Leaving a diesel engine unused for an extended period of time can cause seals and gaskets to dry out and potentially crack. resulting in costly repairs. Old fuel left in the pipes can also deteriorate and cause parts to fuse together. Moreover. batteries may discharge and various engine components may corrode if not properly maintained. It is advisable not to let a diesel engine idle for prolonged periods without being run correctly.
Yes, you can wash the engine of your car, but it must be done carefully to avoid damaging any electrical components or parts. It's important to use a low-pressure water source, and some prefer to use a specific engine degreaser. Always be sure to disconnect the battery before starting and avoid directly spraying electrical components. If you're not confident in doing this yourself, it may be best to have it professionally done.
To find the compression ratio (CR) of an assembled engine without disassembly involves a more indirect but effective method. Begin with removing a spark plug and sealing a compression gauge into the plug hole. Then, crank the engine and record the highest reading on the gauge. This gives you the "compression pressure." For accuracy, perform the test on all cylinders and average the results. However, this number alone doesn't give you the CR; it needs interpretation. Generally, engines with a high CR will produce higher compression pressures, assuming the engine is healthy and all variables are consistent. Compare your readings to known compression pressures for engines with established CRs. While not exact, engines of similar designs and sizes will have comparable pressures for given ratios. Additionally, consult the service manual for your specific engine model, as it may provide information on expected compression pressures or methods to estimate CR based on these pressures. Remember, this approach offers an estimation rather than a precise CR measurement, which typically requires engine disassembly and measuring bore, stroke, head gasket thickness, combustion chamber volume, and piston top volume directly.
