AMT 642 Midterm Quiz # 2qu

1. What instrument reading can be used to measure the power input of a reciprocating engine?

- Tachometer

2-3. Two types of spark plug that is commonly use in aircraft reciprocating engine.

- Massive electrode and Fine-wire electrode

4. Carbon fouling

5. Oil fouling

6. Overheating

7. Pre-ignition

8. It occurs when the explosion that occurs in your engine's combustion chamber causes fuel, air and
moisture to be forced past the rings into the crankcase.

- Blow-by

9. It is indicated by a hissing or whistle when pulling the propeller through prior to starting the engine,
when turning the engine with the starter.

- Valve blow-by

10. This test determines if the valves, piston rings, and pistons are adequately sealing the combustion
chamber.

- Cylinder compression test

11. What tool is used to measure the clearance between the rocker arm and valve tip?

- Feeler gauge

12. This test checks the compression of aircraft engines by measuring the leakage through the
cylinders.

- Differential pressure tester

Excessive leakage can be detected (during the compression check):

13. At the exhaust valve by listening for air leakage at the

- Exhaust outlet

14. At the intake valve by escaping air at the

- Air intake
15. Past the piston rings by escaping air at the

- Engine breather outlet

16-18. Give three factors that affect the engine compression.

- Wear of piston rings and cylinder walls

- Incorrect valve clearance
- Worn or damaged piston

19-20. Give at least two reasons for cylinder replacement.

- Cylinder damage
- Loose spark plugs

21.It prevent leakage of gas pressure from the combustion chamber and reduce to a minimum the
seepage of oil into the combustion chamber.

- Piston rings

22-24. Give the three types of piston rings used on reciprocating engine

- Compression ring
- Oil ring
- Piston rings

25. Barrel style

26. Heat rating position

27. Electrode design

28-30. Three basic components of an aircraft ignition system.

- Spark plug
- Magneto
- Igniter
