ENGINE PERFORMANCE TEST:
Cylinder Power Balance Test
The purpose of a cylinder power balance test is to
determine if all cylinders are contributing power
equally. It determines this by shorting out one
cylinder at a time. If the engine speed (RPM) does
not drop as much for one cylinder as for other
cylinders of the same engine, then the shorted
cylinder must be weaker than the other cylinders.
STEP 2
Thread the compression tester into one spark plug hole and crank the engine.
STEP 3
Apply full accelerator pedal to open the throttle valve to the maximum limit
STEP 4
Apply continues engine cranking until the pressure gage needle stop increasing, repeat this step
for the all cylinders and note the pressure reading for each cylinder
STEP 5
Record the highest readings and compare the results. Most vehicle manufacturers specify the
minimum compression reading and the maximum allowable variation among cylinders. Most
manufacturers specify a maximum difference of 20% between the highest reading and the
lowest reading.
Wet Compression Test:
If the compression test reading indicates low
compression on one or more cylinders, add three
squirts of oil to the cylinder and retest. When oil
is used to help seal around the piston rings.
CAUTION: Do not use more oil than three squirts from a hand-operated oil squirt can. Too much oil can cause
a hydrostatic lock, which can damage or break pistons or connecting rods or even crack a cylinder head.
Cylinder Leakage Test:
This test involves injecting air under pressure into the
cylinders one at a time. The amount and location of any
escaping air helps to determine the condition of the engine.
The air is injected into the cylinder through a cylinder leakage
gauge into the spark plug hole.
To perform the cylinder leakage test, take the following steps:
STEP 1
The engine should be at normal operating temperature.
STEP 2
The cylinder being tested must be at top dead center (TDC) of the
compression stroke.
STEP 3
Calibrate the cylinder leakage unit as per manufacturer’s instructions (between 5 to 7 bar), Inject air
into the cylinders one at a time, rotating the engine as necessitated by firing order to test each
cylinder at TDC on the compression stroke.
b. If air is observed bubbling out of the radiator or reservoir , there is a possible blown head gasket or
STEP 1
Operate the engine until normal operating temperature is achieved.
STEP 2
With the engine off, remove the oil pressure switch or sensor, usually located near the oil filter. Thread
an oil pressure gauge into the threaded hole.
STEP 3
Start the engine and observe the gauge. Record the oil pressure at idle and at 2500 RPM. Most
vehicle manufacturers recommend a minimum oil pressure of 0.4 bar per 1000 RPM. Therefore,
at 2500 RPM, the oil pressure should be at least 1.6 bar. Always compare your test results with
the manufacturer’s recommended oil pressure.
Besides engine bearing wear, other possible causes for low oil pressure
include:
• Low oil level
• Diluted oil
• Stuck oil pressure relief valve
Engine Vacuum Test:
An engine in good mechanical condition will run with high manifold
vacuum. Manifold vacuum is developed by the pistons as they
move down on the intake stroke to draw the charge from the throttle
body and intake manifold. Air to refill the manifold comes past the
throttle plate into the manifold.
Vacuum will increase anytime the engine turns faster or has better
cylinder sealing while the throttle plate remains in a fixed position.
Manifold vacuum will decrease when the engine turns more slowly
or when the cylinders no longer do an efficient job of pumping.
Ideally each cylinder of an engine will produce the same amount of vacuum;
therefore, the vacuum gauge reading should be steady and give a reading of
at least 17 to 20 inches of mercury (in. Hg).
If one or more cylinders produce more or less vacuum than the others, the
needle of the gauge will fluctuate. The intensity of the fluctuation indicates
the severity of the problem. If the needle seems to stay at 17 most of the
time but drops to 10 and quickly rises, we know that the reading is probably
caused by a problem in one cylinder.
Fluctuating or low readings can indicate many different problems :

Valve Control Mechanisms:
Valve keepers
The valve keeper is a small unit that snaps into a
groove in the end of the valve stem . It is designed
to secure the valve spring , valve spring retaining
washer and valve stem together. Also called
"valve key "
Special tools required when we removing the valves: Valve spring compressor
You must remove engine camshafts before starting to remove valves
Valve Visual Check:
Each valve face should be checked for evidence of burning. Also check the entire valve for signs of
wear or distortion.
❑ Measure the internal diameter of the valve guide using a internal micrometer.
❑ Measure the valve stem diameter using external micrometer.
❑ Calculate the actual clearance = internal diameter of the valve guide - the diameter of the valve stem
Telescopic Gauge:
It is used to measure inside diameter of small holes such as a valve guide
Insert the gauge in the valve guide The outside of a telescopic gauge
hole and adjust it to the hole diameter being measured with a micrometer
Check Clearance Between Valve and Valve Guide:
❑ Position the valve head at a distance (H) of 25 mm from the valve seat.
❑ Calculate the actual clearance between the valve and the valve guide
by dividing the value measured on the dial gauge by two.
Check Valve Spring:
Use a vernier caliper to measure springs free length. If the free length
of any spring is less than manufacture stander so it must be replaced.
One popular type of valve spring tester used to measure the compressed
force of valve springs. Specifications usually include
1- Force at installed height with the valve closed
2- Force with the valve open to the height specified.
Valve Seat:
The valve face closes against a valve seat to seal the combustion chamber. There are two types of
valve seats:
Integral seat : The seat is formed as part of the cast-iron head of automotive engines, The seats
are usually induction hardened so that unleaded gasoline can be used. This minimizes valve
recession as the engine operates. Valve recession is the wearing away of the seat, so that the valve
sits farther into the head.
Insert Seat : The seat fits into a machined recess in the steel or aluminum cylinder head and
usually used in applications for which corrosion and wear resistance are critical. Aluminum heads
also include insert valve guides. Insert seats are also used to recondition integral valve seats that
have been badly damaged
Check Valve Seat Runout:
The valve seat runout test applied to
confirmed that the valve guide and valve
seat has the same center and there is
no excessive runout, and this test can
be done by using the valve seat runout
gauge.
Valve Seat Testing:
The valves should be inspected for proper
sealing and to ensure that the valve seat is
concentric with the valve face. Following are
methods often used to check valve face-to-seat
concentricity and valve seating.
1. Vacuum test:
The test done by applying vacuum to the intake or
exhaust port using a tight rubber seal and a vacuum
pump. A good valve face-to-seat seal is indicated by
maintaining at least 28 in. Hg of vacuum. This method
also tests for leakage around the valve guides. if vacuum
increases, valve guides may have excessive clearance.
Valve Leak test:
The ports or chamber can be filled
with mineral spirits or some other
suitable fluid. A good seal should not
leak fluid for at least 45 seconds.
Engine blocks have core plugs , also called expansion plugs. The
block cannot be thoroughly cleaned unless all core plugs and oil
plugs are removed.
Check Cylinder Block Flatness:
The flatness of the block deck should be checked.
checking the cylinder block surface in six planes checks
the head for warpage, distortion, bend, and twist.
Cylinder Rebored:
The rebored cylinder requires the use of a new, oversize
piston.
Copper-lead alloy
Is a stronger and more expensive bearing material than
babbitt. It is used for intermediate and high-speed
applications. This bearing material is most easily damaged
by corrosion from acid accumulation in the engine oil.
Corrosion results in bearing journal wear as the bearing is
eroded by the acids. Many of the copper-lead bearings have
an overlay, or third layer, of a metal.
This overlay is usually of babbitt. Babbitt-overlayed bearings have high fatigue strength, good
conformity, good embeddability, and good corrosion resistance.
Bearing Clearance
The bearing to journal clearance may be from 0.025 to 0.06 mm, depending on the engine. The
oil clearance must be large enough to allow an oil film to build up, but small enough to prevent
excess oil leakage, which would cause loss of oil pressure. A large amount of oil leakage at
one of the bearings would starve other bearings farther along in the oil system. This would result
in the failure of the oil-starved bearings
Bearing Eccentricity
Most bearing halves, or shells, do not have uniform thickness. The wall thickness of most bearings
is largest in the center, called the bearing crown. The bearing thickness then tapers to a thinner
measurement at each parting line. The tapered wall keeps bearing clearances close at the top and
bottom of the bearing, The difference between the maximal and minimal wall thickness is called
eccentricity.
Oil Holes
Oil holes in the bearings allow oil to flow through the block
and into the bearing’s oil clearance. These holes control
the amount of oil sent to the connecting rod bearings and
other parts of the engine. For example, oil squirt holes in
connecting rods are used to spray oil onto the cylinder
walls. The oil hole normally lines up with the groove in a
bearing. When installing bearings, make sure the oil holes
in the block line up with holes in the bearings.
Checking Bearing Clearance
Normal Appearance
Uniform wear pattern over approximately 2/3 of the
bearing’s surface Wear should diminish near the parting
line ends of the bearing, and the wear pattern should
extend uniformly across the bearing in the axial direction.
Scoring (Foreign Particles in Lining)
Dust, dirt, abrasives and/or metallic particles present
in the oil supply embed in the soft bearing lining,
displacing metal and creating a high-spot.
Possible Causes
1. Road dirt and sand entering the engine through the air-
intake manifold or faulty air filtration.
2. Wear of other engine parts, resulting in small fragments
of these parts entering the engine’s oil supply.
3. Neglected oil filter and/or air filter replacement.
Bearing Surface Fatigue
Bearing surface cracked, small irregular areas of surface
material missing from the bearing lining.
Possible Causes
Bearing failure due to surface fatigue can be the
result of the normal life span of the bearing being
exceeded or bad material.
Oil Shortage
When a bearing has failed due to oil shortage, Its surface
is usually very shiny. there may be excessive wear of the
bearing surface due to the wiping action of the journal. In
the most severe cases the bearing surface will be
scratched. The bearing will begin to turn dark blue to
black in color.
Possible Causes
1. Insufficient oil clearance.
2. A malfunctioning oil pump or pressure relief valve.
3. A blocked oil suction screen or oil filter.
4. Bad oil condition.
5. Oil overheating or overcooling.

5. Oil overheating or overcooling.
Oil Pump
The oil pump is the heart of the lubricating system. The
oil pump pulls oil from the oil pan through a pickup
tube. The part of the tube that is in the oil pan has a
filter screen, which is submerged in the oil. The screen
keeps large particles from entering the oil pump.
This screen should be cleaned any time the oil pan is
removed. The pickup may also contain a bypass valve
that allows oil to enter the pump if the screen becomes
totally plugged.
The oil pump is required to:
1. Provide 3 to 6 gallons per minute of engine oil to lubricate the engine
2. Maintain pressure, by forcing the oil into the lubrication system under pressure
Pressure Regulation:
Oil pumps have an oil pressure relief valve to prevent
excessively high system pressures from occurring as
engine speed increases. When the oil pressure exceeds a
preset limit, the spring-loaded relief valve opens and
allows oil to directly return to the sump. Excessive oil
pressure can lead to poor lubrication due to the oil blowing
past parts rather than flowing over them. A pressure
regulator valve is loaded with a calibrated spring that
allows oil to bleed off at a given pressure. When the
pressure from the pump reaches a preset level, a check
valve, ball, or plunger unseats and allows the oil to return
to either the inlet side of the pump or to the crankcase.
CHECK OIL PUMP Visually
The gears and housing are examined for scoring. If the gears and housing are heavily scored, the
entire pump should be replaced.
DISADVANTAGES
A dry sump system has the following disadvantages.
➢ The system is expensive as it requires components and plumbing not needed in a wet sump
system.
➢ The system is complex because the plumbing and connections, plus the extra components,
A dry sump oil system is used in most motor sport vehicles and is standard on certain high-
performance production vehicles
Engine Assembly
Short Block Preparation
The following engine block details should be checked:
➢ Each of the main bearing caps will only fit one location and
the caps must be positioned correctly.
➢ The correct-size bearings should be placed in the block and
cap, making sure that the bearing tang locks into its slot.
➢ The upper main bearing has an oil feed hole. The lower bearing
does not have an oil hole.
➢ Confirm the bearing clearance using Plastigage ® (gauging
plastic)
➢ Oil clearances normally run from 0.0127 mm to 0.0508 mm.
