If the engine starts to eat oil, and indeed it somehow misbehaves, the car owner becomes tense. However, no one is in a hurry to give money for capital. Citizens choose the cheaper route. Like decking. About which method to choose for this operation, the portal “AvtoVzglyad” tells.
A decrease in compression in the cylinders, which is accompanied by a sharp loss of lubricant, usually occurs due to a decrease in the mobility of the piston rings. The reason is the formation of soot and deposits on it.
The first way to dispose of sewage is old-fashioned. Strong solvents such as kerosene and acetone are poured into the cylinders of a slightly warmed-up “engine”. Oil is added to thicken. The idea is as follows: the compound penetrates into the piston ring area, corrodes soot and flows into the crankcase. To do this, the engine is left alone for a day, after which the cylinders are flushed, the lubricant is changed and only then the steel “heart” is launched. The remains of the “brew” are burned by the high temperature.
Hydroperite is also used, that is, a mixture of hydrogen peroxide with urea. Such chemistry is really good at cleaning parts from soot. Therefore, it is widely used in repairs. Let’s say when the gasket has blown. We will describe below how exactly the agent enters the engine.
You can also use additives purchased from a car dealer. Here you should choose the so-called foam cleaners, because the composition lingers in the cylinders longer than conventional liquids.
Finally, the dirt is also removed mechanically. True, for this you need to partially disassemble the power unit. What is the best use of this arsenal?
The first two methods are dangerous because it is not clear exactly how a strong solvent can get on the rings. But it can also damage what does not need to be fixed. Let’s say different gaskets and seals. This can greatly damage the engine: we treat one and cripple the other.
So you should not rejoice at the simplicity of the methods when the “slurry” is poured into the candle wells or the hydroperite solution is fed through the dropper into the intake manifold. Where the medicine ends up – no master will tell you for sure.
As for additives, they can’t help much either. They are only used for prevention. And that is rare, because corrosive chemicals also affect various rubber products.
The mechanical method is the most reliable, but also the most expensive. With partial disassembly, you can not decarbonize the pistons at all, but replace them with new ones. Usually this does not require you to drill cylinders to the repair size. Then you really don’t have to worry about the cleanliness of the unit.
