Visually check for any leaks that could have caused the high consumption.

Check that there is no engine oil in the coolant, also check that the exhaust tail pipe is not dirty with oil and check that there are no bluish exhaust fumes

1. Obvious oil leaks.

2.Engine oil in the cooling circuit.

3. Exhaust tail pipe dirty with oil.

4. Presence of bluish exhaust fumes.

1. Locate and eliminate the oil leaks.

2. Move on to Step 1.

Op. 1016E10 SINGLE CYLINDER HEAD, REMOVED - OVERHAUL

Check the piston seals, in particular:

- that they are not broken or damaged;

- that the seals are correctly fitted;

- that there is no seizing in the piston ring grooves.

1. Piston rings damaged or seized.

2. Piston rings not correctly fitted.

1. Replace the pistons, gudgeon pins and rings.

2. Fit the piston rings correctly.

Check:

- the condition of the surfaces and the dimensions (ovality/taper) of the cylinder bores;

- piston-bore fitting clearance.

1. Bore surfaces do not conform.

2. Dimensions outside of the tolerance.

3. Fitting clearance not correct.

1. Regrind the cylinder bores.

2. Regrind the cylinder bores.

3. Replace the pistons, gudgeon pins and piston rings following the fitting clearances.
