Failures
of driven units at the
front
or rear of the engine which
increase
the end lending can damage the thrust bearing.
Cylinder
Block
Diagnosis
of cylinder block malfunctions relative to cooling and
lubrication have been
discussed
in those respective system
Sections.
The
potential
problems
with
the cylinders, the
camshaft
bore and the crankshaft main journals have
also
been
discussed
in this
section.
Malfunctions of the block
such
as
leaks,
tappet
bore wear, etc.
require a visual or dimensional inspection to isolate the
problem.
The cylinder bores are machined directly
into
the block during
production. The size and condition of the bore is critical to
engine performance and life. During repair, be sure to inspect
the bore carefully. It may also be
necessary
to de-glaze the
cylinder
walls
before
reassembly.
