| Check | ||
| In case of excessive oil consumption or insufficient engine power, this may be caused by damages due to dust or normal wear. | ||
1 | Check intake manifold between the air filter and engine, for penetration of dust. | A strong dust contamination in the tubing elbows indicates false air intake that is bypassing the filter. In engines with oil bath air filter a fine dust coat is permissible. | |
2 | Check pistons and sliding cylinder surfaces regarding wear (damage caused by dust). | Checking contact surfaces of piston skirts and cylinder burnishing, being able to identify if damage was caused by dust. | |
