Q
how to check blow by on a diesel engine
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
To check blow-by on a diesel engine, which indicates wear or damage inside the engine, causing combustion gases to escape past the piston rings into the crankcase, start the engine and let it reach operating temperature. Remove the oil filler cap or the dipstick. If there’s noticeable smoke coming out, that’s a clear sign of blow-by. Be cautious, as a small amount of vapor is normal, especially in cold weather. Another method is to place your hand over the opening; if you feel significant pressure or air puffing out rhythmically with the engine's RPMs, this is another indication of blow-by. For a more quantitative assessment, a manometer can be used to measure crankcase pressure. Always refer to the engine manufacturer's specifications for acceptable levels. It's essential to diagnose and address the underlying issues causing blow-by, as it can lead to reduced engine efficiency and higher emissions.
