Excess smoke and low power from a turbocharged engine can be caused by pressurized air leaking from loose connections or cracks in the crossover tube or intake manifold. This can also cause a noise problem. in addition to the visual inspection for cracks and loose fittings, liquid soap can be applied to the charge air… Read More »
Loose connections or cracks in the suction side of the intake pipe and after the air filter can allow debris to be ingested by the engine causing rapid wear in the cylinders. Leaks at the intake manifold, unsealed bolt holes or manifold cover gasket can also allow dust and dirt to be ingested into naturally… Read More »
Replace the air cleaner element when the restriction reaches the maximum limit at rated engine power and speed. For turbocharged engines, measure the restriction just before the turbocharger. Measure just before the intake manifold for naturally aspirated engines.
The correct am ount of clean air to the cylinders is required for good performance. As discussed earlier in A ir Flow System, ingested dust and dirt will dam age the engine cylinders. Dust and dirt can also damage the valve stems and guides as well as wear down the turbo compressor vanes affecting efficiency.… Read More »
