Inspection through Scavenge Ports Plate 70701-40D
1) Dismount the small covers on thescavenge air boxes, and clean theopenings.
2) When the piston has been turnedbelow the level of the scavengeair ports, inspect the cylinder linerwalls and the piston crown.
3) A tiltable mirror fixed to a tele-scopic rod can be used as illus-trated. Use a powerful light source forinspection.
4) In order to inspect a larger area ofthe cylinder liner and piston, it isexpedient to enter the scavengeair receiver and make observa-tions from the ‘ ‘ exhaust side’’.This should be done every timethe sludge is cleaned out from thescavenge air receiver and box.
5) While the piston is passing thescavenge air port, examine thepiston crown, the rings, and theskirt.In order to be able to correctly ob-serve the running surfaces of thepiston rings, clean them with arag.
Check the free movement and thetension of the piston rings, bypressing them with a woodenstick.
6) When the piston has been turnedupwards past the scavenge airports, inspect the piston rod.
7) Note down the results on Plate70702.

A dot (!) always means that the inspected condition is satisfactory, e.g. small deposits, noleakage, no breakages, no sticking, clean smooth surface, normal oil film, etc. However, thisshall be recorded in order to show that the condition has been noted.

Running Surface of Piston Rings(see also Plate 70705)
NB: In file tests, use a new very finely cut file
"Polished Mirror Surface”Photo 1 (about X3)A normal, good running surface issmooth, clean, and without scratches.The horizontal line is a scratch markresulting from a file test, which indicatesthat the surface is not hardened.
“Vertically Scratched”Photo 2 (about X3)Here the running surface has beenscratched by sharp, hard abrasiveparticles, e.g. grains of sand.The file test shows that the surface isnot hardened.
“Micro-Seizures”Photo 3 (about X3)A micro-seized running surface canappear as shown here.The file test gives almost no horizontalscratch, which indicates that the surfaceis covered by a hard glaze, i.e. has beenhardened due to micro-seizure.

Abrasive Particles
Typical observations when particles penetrate fromthe combustion chamber into the piston ring zone
Plate 70707-40
Exaggerated illustration of “worn and eroded” pistonrings No. 1 to 4, in “worn” grooves. It is typical forparticle wear that it excessively affects the upper ring(both the running face and the horizontal surfaces) aswell as the groove. Some degree of micro-seizuresometimes occurs on the lower rings, decreasing up-wards. This is contrary to the scratching intensity (orroughness) which decreases, from ring to ring, down-wards.When particle-wear prevails, the cylinder liner wearrate usually rises to between 0.30 and 0.50 mm/l000hours.
Running face ring No. 1The “trumpet-shaped” scratchesindicate that the hard particleshave penetrated from above.
Upper side of the uppermost ringsThe horizontal faces, especially theupper side, often become pock-markeddue to hard grains being crushed whenthe rings are pressed upwards by thegas trapped between the rings.However, such an appearance can alsobe the result of mechanical impactdue to ring collapse.
Upper side of the lower rinosThe part sheltered in the groovestill shows intact machining marks.The exposed part, protruding fromthe groove, becomes sand-blastedby the hard particles blown downthrough the ring gap above.
