Learning Objective: Describe the
types of piston and rod assemblies
used in internal combustion engines,
recognize symptoms of malfunctions
and their causes, and indicate the
type of actions that may prevent the
recurrence of such troubles.

5-4.
Question 5-1 is to be judged either
True or False.
Before attempting to jack an internal
combustion engine over by hand, you
should first disable the starter
circuit.
Which of the following symptoms
indicate(s) that the clearance between
the piston and cylinder is above
tolerance?
1.
Excessive oil consumption
2.
Piston slap after top dead center
3.
Piston slap after bottom dead center
4.
All of the above
On Navy engines, piston defects are NOT
likely to be caused by which of the
following conditions?
1.
Unbalanced load
2.
Insufficient lubrication
3.
Crown and land dragging
4.
Excessive piston liner clearance
Operation of an internal combustion engine
above the specified temperature limits may
result in which of the following problems?
1.
No lubrication of the cylinder walls
2.
Low cylinder temperatures
3.
Increased oil viscosity
4.
High oil temperatures
5-5.
If the oil flow to a piston is restricted,
where will the oxidation of the oil cause
deposits to form?
1.
On the underside of the piston crown
2.
Behind the compression rings
3.
On the piston walls
4.
On the piston crown
5-6.
When the clearance between the piston and
the cylinder liner is too small, the
piston will NOT likely
1.
seize
2.
bind
3.
break
4.
wear in
5-7.
The wiping of metal causes the rings to
stick in the piston grooves.
What is this
action called?
1.
Scoring
2.
Scuffing
3.
Calling
4.
Wiping
5-8.
Which of the following actions is/are
required to balance the load on each
piston of an auxiliary generator diesel
engine?
1.
Setting the fuel rack
2.
Checking the compression pressures
3.
Checking the firing pressures
4.
All of the above
5-9.
Cracking of the ring groove lands on a
piston can be attributed to which of the
following conditions?
1.
Excessive piston-to-cylinder clearance
2.
Insufficient clearance between the
ends of the rings
3.
Insufficient ring-to-land clearance
4.
Each of the above
