3. TroubleshootingThis troubleshooting section applies to problems affecting the basic engine assembly-the cylinder block, cylinder head, and their internal moving parts. Only a few basic functions are required of the engine. The block, cylinder head, and their moving parts must fit together properly, operate smoothly, seal well enough to create and maintain compression, and keep pistons, valve train, and ignition properly timed. The problems discussed in this trouble-shooting section are those which affect one or more of these functions. Troubleshooting specifically for the lubrication system can be found in this section in 7. Lubrication System. To troubleshoot overheating and other cooling system problems, see COOLING SYSTEM. Troubleshooting for other general starting and running problems can be found in FUEL SYSTEM, IGNITION, and ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. |
