FAQ

What exactly is the task / function of the component?
The internal engine component absorbs forces from combustion or the valve train and transfers them to the associated mechanics within the engine. Dimensional accuracy, material condition and surface quality are essential for function and service life.

How can you recognize a defect / typical symptoms?
Typical symptoms are mechanical noises, loss of power, compression deviation, increased oil consumption or metal abrasion in the oil. Wear, seizure, thermal overload or dimensional deviations have a direct effect on engine running.

How do you check / test the component?
Dimensions, play, surfaces, straightness or concentricity and the contact pattern on the contact surfaces are checked according to workshop specifications. In addition, compression, leak-down or valve clearance measurements provide information on the condition in the installed engine.

When should it be replaced?
The part should be replaced if the wear limits are exceeded, cracks, seizure marks or thermal damage. Highly stressed internal components are often replaced as a precautionary measure as part of an engine overhaul.

How do you check compatibility?
The OEM number, motor type, dimension group, standard or oversize, installation position and corresponding mating parts are important. Changes to the serial number and machining status of the motor must also be taken into account.
