HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION - Continued
MALFUNCTION
Dirt in air intake system.
CORRECTIVE ACTION
1.
Check for faulty air induction system that allows contaminated air to enter engine. Dust and dirt
entering engine will cause rapid wear of piston rings, cylinder liners, pistons, and exhaust valve
mechanism. Perform compression test. Contact Maintenance Supervisor. A compression test
with excessively low readings will indicate worn out cylinders. Rebuild pistons and liners.
Contact Maintenance Supervisor.
2.
Perform operational check of diesel engine (TM 55-1925-205-10).
