Carterpillar excavator, engine 30 cases Classic fault case, reason analysis

An engine is a machine that can convert other forms of energy into mechanical energy, including, for example, an internal combustion engine (gasoline engine, etc.), an external combustion engine (Stirling engine, steam engine, etc.), an electric motor, and the like. For example, internal combustion engines usually convert chemical energy into mechanical energy. The parts that includs piston, piston ring, cylinder block, cylinder head, gasket kit, engine connecting rod, crankshaft, injector, turbocharger, starter motor, pressure sensor,oil pump, ecm, exhaust manifold, v ribbed belt, bushing, engine valve and so on.There are many cases happen to engine, for wonepart we have experience of engine repair and rebuild projects, if your engine have the following problems, then you will check the following reasons as reference:

• Valve clearance is too large

• Insufficient lubrication

10. Organic oil in the cooling system

Possible reason

• Malfunction of oil cooler core

• Cylinder head gasket failure

• Cracks in cylinder block and cylinder head (replacement)

piston ring

11. The engine has knocking sound

Possible reason

• Damaged connecting rod bearing

• Damaged crankshaft

• Damaged timing gear

• Fuel dilution crankcase oil

12. Fuel consumption is too high

Possible reason

• Fuel system leak

• Fuel combustion noise (knock on cylinder)

• Fuel injection timing is wrong

• Fuel is set too high

13. The valve or valve transmission mechanism is noisy

Possible reason

• Broken valve spring

• Camshaft broken

• The valve tappet is damaged

• Damaged valve

14. Rocker arm displacement is small and valve clearance is too large

Possible reason

• Insufficient lubrication

• Rocker arm parts wear

• Valve stem end wear

• Valve clearance is too large

• Push rod wear

• Tappet wear

• Camshaft extraction cam wear

• Loose bolts securing rocker arm

15. Broken valve lock pin or spring

Possible reason

• Valve lock pin failure

• Broken valve spring

16. Exhaust Organic Oil

Possible reason

• Too much oil in the valve chamber

• Worn valve guide

• Piston ring wear

• The turbocharger leak seal is damaged

• Air filter element clogged

17. The valve clearance is small or none

Possible reason

• Worn valve seat or valve contact surface

18. Premature engine wear

Possible reason

• There is dirt in the lubricant

• Air inlet leak

• Fuel leaks into the lubricant

Nineteen, there is coolant in the lubricant

Possible reason

• Damaged oil cooler core

• Damaged cylinder head gasket

• Cracked or damaged cylinder head

• Cracked or damaged cylinder

• Leakage of cylinder liner seal

• Crack in cylinder liner

Twenty, black smoke or gray smoke from the exhaust pipe

Possible reason

• Insufficient combustion air

• Damaged fuel nozzle

• Fuel injection timing is wrong

21. The exhaust temperature is too high

Possible reason

• Air inlet or exhaust system is not smooth

• Fuel injection timing is wrong

• Air intake system leaks

• Exhaust system leakage

22. Exhaust emits white smoke or blue smoke

caterpillar excavator spare parts

Possible reason

• The oil level of the crankcase is too high

• Engine misfire or rough operation

• Fuel injection timing is wrong

• Worn valve guide

• Piston ring wear

• Damaged turbocharger oil seal

23. Low engine oil pressure

Possible reason

• Damaged oil pressure gauge

• Low viscosity of lubricant (diluted by diesel)

• Damaged suction pipe of oil pump

• Damaged oil pump

• The gap between crankshaft and crankshaft bearing is too large

• The gap between camshaft and camshaft bearing is too large

• Intermediate gear bearing clearance is too large

• Dirty oil filter or oil cooler

• Oil pump safety valve stuck

24. Large engine oil consumption

Possible reason

• Too much oil in the engine

• Oil leakage

• The oil temperature is too high

• Too much oil in intake duct

• Worn valve guide

• Piston ring wear

30. The alternator is noisy

Possible reason

• The alternator drive belt is worn or damaged

• Loose alternator pulley

• Alternator drive belt and drive pulley are not aligned

• Alternator bearing wear

• Bent armature or rotor shaft

• Alternator rectifier short circuit

31. Engine Speed

1. Engine oil enters the cylinder to participate in combustion

(1) Too much oil is added to the oil pan

(2) Diesel oil leaks into the oil bottom (the oil level rises and the mixed oil enters the combustion chamber)

(3) The temperature of the diesel engine is too high, so that the engine oil is too lean, easy to enter the cylinder to participate in combustion

2. Diesel oversupply

(1) Possible reasons for governor

(2) Excess fuel supply caused by fuel injector quality problems
