Ensure proper installation of a remanufactured engine

Investing in a remanufactured engine can become an expense and a nightmare if not installed properly, so it is vital not to cut corners on training and technical training required for proper installation. ENGINE INSTALLATION There are several major systems is important to look great when you install a remanufactured engine: Cooling System Lubrication System Fuel Supply System Computer Engine Tuning Mayor Other (oil pan, intake manifold, timing cover) SYSTEM COOLING Radiator The radiator is the most important element of the cooling system. All of them block some culverts, and without a periodic change of coolant antifreeze chemicals stick to the inner walls restricting the passage and preventing the radiator to cool properly. Depending on the severity of the damage, should be sent to probe the radiator, solder or replace it. Responsible radiator cap to maintain pressure in the cooling system, and when it is weak or defective, reduces the boiling point, causing overheating and result in damage to the newly installed engine. Is indicated to replace the radiator cap with a new one.

Water Pump A water pump is not working properly obviously cause engine overheating. Failures are very common in the pump seal, a bearing in poor condition or damaged gear. The recommendation here is to always replace the water pump for a nueva.Termostato, belts, hoses, fan, other The key is to replace the thermostat for installing the correct type of vehicle taking temperature measurements suitable for your engine, replace bands and hoses at the slightest sign of toughness or wear, replace the fan if there are bent or broken blades, replace hopper and / or fan mechanism is damaged. Check for obstructions in the exhaust system (manifold, exhaust, muffler, catalytic converter). Also check the Emission Control System, including the EGR valve, which recommend replacing the slightest doubt about your fucnionamiento. EGR valve not operating properly can lead to detonation problems and / or preignition. Notes on the Thermostat The thermostat function is to prevent water flow into the engine while it has not reached its operating temperature, according to the manufacturer's specifications. When the temperature of the motor approaches its operating temperature (usually 80 ° C), the thermostat begins to open letting a little water to mix with hot water and start the cooling process. When the engine warms up completely, the thermostat fully open, controlling the speed of water circulation.

It is common to remove the thermostat from the engine to believe that the engine should operate as cold as possible. Some people even claim that the head is broken when the thermostat opens and lets the cold water. Nothing could be further from the truth.

The problem with removing the thermostat becomes more critical with the conversion of LP Gas engine. When the gas engine works below 80 ° C, the pistons and valves are filled with white deposits by the nitration of the oil. Operating a motor below its operating temperature requires your time, excessive fuel consumption, which causes damage to valves, rings and the catalytic converter, among other components. LUBRICATION SYSTEM Oil Pump and Strainer Pump and oil strainer must be new when installed a remanufactured engine (finds it impossible to thoroughly clean a strainer). Arrow Oil Pump Some are heavy and made of forged steel, others have very small diameters and thus wear out, they bend and break more easily. A worn shaft can damage not only their own gear but the gear pump. Do not risk a remanufactured engine for wanting to save a few pesos. Replace the arrow always. Oil Cooler optional accessory is a small radiator that is in the middle of the passage of oil and is located either within the main radiator of the vehicle or front of it.

Must be purged and cleaned to prevent dirty oil flow to the engine. Not possible a thorough cleaning, should be replaced. FUEL SUPPLY SYSTEM Carburetor A carburetor can cause defective a rich mix of air-fuel ratio, which results in damage to the engine. On the other hand, if there is dirt in the fuel flow or wear on the shaft of the butterfly, you get a lean air-fuel which can cause explosions. Therefore, it is vitally important to repair and / or replace the carburetor when you install your remanufactured engine. Fuel Injection System A leak in a nozzle causes a rich mix of fuel-air which, as we discussed, damage to the engine. Conversely, a clogged or worn nozzle will cause a lean fuel which eventually result in explosions. Obtain similar effects with a fuel pressure regulator into disrepair. And a leak in the seal (oring) of any injector) will cause a lean mixture of fuel and the corresponding detonation. Again, it is most important to ensure that the injection system as a whole is functioning correctly. Mechanical Fuel Pump A tear in the diaphragm fuel pump could cause the fuel diluting the engine oil.

And a worn pump causes knocking in the engine that can be confused with faulty aim. At the slightest sign of failure or distrust, it is always best to replace the pump to expect a failure in the motor. Motor sensors tell the computer how to control the weather, fuel flow, air flow, etc.. As well as ensure efficient combustion, and therefore should be reviewed carefully and repair or replace: Oxygen Sensor in Exhaust Temperature Sensor Intake Air Temperature Sensor Antifreeze engine computer should be checked connectors and earth, the list of error codes present at that time, the correct operation of the advance of time, the firing order fuel injection itself, the proper functioning of the computer in general. TUNING Mayor is recommended to conduct further tuning, checking and repairing or replacing among other components: Distributor plugs wires / spark plug wires distributor cap distributor rotor distributor Arrow distributor mechanical advance springs PCV Valve Fuel Filters and Air Note on PCV valve PCV valve or Positive Crankcase Ventilation helps maintain proper and continuous flow of gases escaping from the rings and get into the crankcase.

These gases can be re-used by the engine as long as the PCV valve is not blocked. This valve recycles gases and sends it to the intake manifold, preventing the formation of a pressure inside the engine. Do not vent pressure through a valve in poor condition can cause excess air instability is reflected in a poor mix and lack of engine power, also passes the oil vapors into the intake manifold and then enter pressure damaging the combustion chambers, among other components, piston rings, the packaging aims caps or seals, so it could also present an oil leak. For this reason we recommend changing the PCV valve every 15,000 km or every pitch. Other small or large accessories, cast or stamped must be perfectly clean and install, oil pan, intake manifold, timing cover, covers aims, oil filter adapter. It is vital to the proper installation of packaging in general, since a torque incorrect or improper torque sequence lead to different types of problems.

If the vehicle operates on LP Gas Use special lubricating oil. The oil commonly used diluents can not withstand the effects of sulfur product of the combustion gas which loses viscosity, causing overheating and generally severe damage to the engine. And when installing the remanufactured engine always check the pressure relief valves, the equipment is properly calibrated, there are no leaks at any connection, that all items are secure and that no traces of corrosion, especially in the tank.
