Where does maximum cylinder bore wear normally occur and why?

most cylinder wear occurs at the top fo the ring travel. Pressure on the top ring is at a peak and lubrication at a minimum when the piston is at the top of its stroke

can i make a raptor 50cc any faster. can you bore cylinder out and get more power out of it


What step must you perform before removing the piston from the bore to prevent damage?

Depending on the amount of wear in the cylinder, there may be a ridge at the top of it. If there is much of a ridge, the rings in the piston will catch on this and possible damage the piston. The ridge can be removed with a ridge reamer.

What does stroke mean in car terms?

The distance a piston travels within the cylinder bore, from the very top to the very bottom. This limit is the stroke.


How the top overhaul process?

Before carrying out top overhaul please check following points. 1] Check cylinder bore for wear,taper and ovality.If dimensions are within specified limit as informed by manufacture you can replace piston ring set only. 2] Recondition cylinder head assy after replacing valve set, guide set and valve seats. 3] Overhaul fip and injectors. This complete procedure is called as top overhauling. Bhalchandra.

When purchasing new head gaskets do you want the same bore on the gaskets as the actual cylinder bore?

No, the head gasket bore size refers to the diameter of the bore and should be larger than the cylinder bore. If the engine cylinder has been chamfered at the top of the block, to make it easier to start ring assembly, the the gasket bore size should be at least that diameter. As an example, on a chevy small block with a stock 4 inch bore, the next gasket size is typically 4.030". Engines that have been bored out up to 4.040" will use a gasket size of 4.060". If you use a gasket smaller than the bore size, the gasket will fail as it can create hot spots that will cause pre-ignition. If the gasket bore size is too large it will create a cavity area that prevent a clean burn in the combustion chamber thus creating dirty emissions.


What is the maximum cylinder wear on a Chevrolet 350 engine?

If you have to ream the ridge to get the old pistons out, you probably need to bore the cylinders and install oversize pistons. This assumes it was taken apart in the first place because of low cylinder pressure or excessive oil consumption (ie: worn rings). If there's not enough ridge to prevent you from pushing the pistons out of the bores, you can probably hone it out and re-ring the old pistons. If there is a ridge at the top of the cylinder, you need to bore it. The general consensus is that a rebuilt engine will wear out rapidly if there is any amount of taper. If you can catch a fingernail on the ridge, it's too much The upside is, if you bore it, put in new pistons and polish or turn the crank and replace the oil pump, you effectively have a new lower end and it should last 200,000 miles if properly maintained.


How do you get cubic inches in a motor?

you take the volume of each cylinder and add them together. the volume is calculated using the bore (width of cylinder) and the stroke (the height of where the piston reached the top [crank angle of 0 degrees] to the bottom [crank angle of 180 degrees]) volume = pi (3.14159) x radius (1/2 bore) squared x height (stroke of the cylinder) that will give you cubic inches per cylinder. Then just multiply by the number of cylinders in the engine.


What is cylinder ridge?

In a internal combustion engine, a cylinder ridge is an unworn area around the top of the cylinder wall. In that engine, the piston moves up and down in the cylinder, and the rings seal the piston in that cylinder. But the rings are spaced "down a bit" from the top of the piston. And when the piston reaches top dead center in the cylinder, the rings haven't gone all they way to the top of the cylinder. They end up wearing the cylinder out "underneath" that top area. In other words, it's the top part of the cylinder that is not in contact with the piston rings. It's the "unworn" part, if you will.


What is swept volume?

It is the volume of air in Diesel engine or the mixture of air and gasoline in petrol engine induced by the cylinder while moving down from the top dead center to the bottom dead center in intake stroke. Calculation: bore of the cylinder squared * pi * crank radius / 4 [Cm 3]
