cylinder head gasket

Another serious problem was a blown cylinder head gasket because of engine overheating.

Nowadays it's a market, selling everything from eyelash curlers to cylinder head gaskets.

The cylinder head gasket was prone to warping, especially when the car was driven frequently.

Compatibility with reduced octane was addressed by reducing compression, generally by installing thicker cylinder head gaskets and/or rebuilding the engine with compression-reducing pistons.

Fretting examples include wear of drive splines on driveshafts, wheels at the lug bolt interface, and cylinder head gaskets subject to differentials in thermal expansion coefficients.

The angled studs when heated and cooled, expanded and contracted at a different rate to the alloy heads, causing sideways forces which caused premature failure of the cylinder head gaskets.

Many ways were explored to enhance the power output of the standard engine, most notably special exhaust manifolds, twin carburettors, stiffer valve springs, thinner cylinder head gaskets and modified camshafts.

If there is a significant (greater than 10%) difference between cylinders, that may be an indication that valves or cylinder head gaskets are leaking, piston rings are worn, or that the block is cracked.

This, along with hydraulic valve lifters which required no adjusting and special cylinder head gaskets which eliminated the need for periodic retorquing of the head bolts, made the 6.9 nearly maintenance-free for its first 50,000 miles (80,500 km).

Now, if I can say to you if the vehicle was driven on and and on until the engine was damaged with a cylinder head gasket failure, then I would say yes we would repudiate it, because that would be customer negligence.

He looked at front and rear bumpers, a frame rail, a crankcase, a cylinder head, a cylinder head gasket, an exhaust manifold, an alternator, an engine cooling fan, and a piece from a power steering gear, all of them deformed in the explosion.

The company was instead forced into launching the Maestro with the half-developed power unit which cost the company dearly-R-Series equipped Maestros soon gained a reputation for hot starting problems, cylinder head gasket failures (endemic to the E-Series also), and premature crankshaft failure.

Exhaust emissions from the engine are minimized by measures including optimal design of the combustion chambers, optimal control of the intake air motion by means of the cylinder-head ports, employment of the MIVEC system, employment of an ultra-thin cylinder head gasket, and employment of micro-droplet fuel injectors.
