Worn piston ring and wrong ring gap cause the engine oil to enter the cylinder and
burn engine oil that produces white fumes.
• If the gap between the cylinder and piston is too large, it causes piston slack
and heavy blowby gas; if it is too small, the piston and ring may be sintered.
• The piston ring does three things: air-tightening, heat conduction (compression
ring), and oil control (oil ring).
• The compression ring and oil ring prevent the combustion gas of the piston ring
from leaking and control the oil lubricating the space between the cylinder wall
and piston, respectively.
• To make sure the engine performs optimally over a long period of time and
maintains optimized performance, the cylinder block, liner, and piston to
assemble should have the same rating or engraved number. For the number

ENG03 Excessive Engine Oil Consumption
Failure Excessive Engine Oil Consumption
1. Engine oil may be reduced during the machine operation time due to:
• Gap between the piston ring and cylinder liner and inevitable oil
consumption in the engine (as it gets older, the piston ring and liner get
worn and increase oil vaporization).
• Blowby gas and oil vapor from explosion in the engine mix and get into
the inlet pipe via the PCV system.
• Oil leak via the valve stem seal (may be replaced).
• Engine oil leak caused by damaged turbo charger seal (as the engine oil
circulation system circulates engine oil with the turbo charger, the
Related Information damaged turbo charger seal causes oil leak and excessive engine oil
consumption).
• A damaged gasket, which is visually identifiable, must be immediately
replaced. (Note that leaking engine oil attached to the heated outlet pipe
area may cause fire.)
