Wednesday, September 12, 2001 THE OAKVILLE BEAVER D7 Burning 011 sign of bad trouble An early warn ing sign of engine wear is excessive oil consumption, which is usually accompanied by blue-black exhaust smoke. A common reason for this con dition is worn valve guide seals. The valves in a typical engine may open and close as often as 100,000 times per hour at highway speeds. The stem of the valve, sliding up and down in its guide, is fitted with a special seal designed to permit only a limited amount of oil to pass. (Some oil is necessary for lubri cation). When these seals wear or hard en, oil burning begins. Many of the conditions which cause an engine to bum oil prematurely are due to vehicle neglect. Piston rings, for example, can wear out pre maturely if you do not change the oil and filter regularly. Worn rings lead to excessive oil con sumption. There's only one satisfactory cure for worn pis ton rings: Major engine work, which normally is accompanied by replacement of bearings, timing belt or chain, valve guides and other worn internal com ponents. At that time valves are ground or replaced. This pro cedure, combined with a complete tune-up, usually will return the engine to nearly new performance. Today's vehi cles are driven for more than 225,000 km and last up to 12 years, com pared with being driven only 150,000 km and lasting less than 10 years in the 1970s. So it is worth it to properly maintain your vehicle and its engine. Check your engine oil regularly. If you have to pump the accelera tor to keep the engine from stalling, you may be pumping raw gasoline into the crankcase. This situation can be avoided by keeping the engine properly tuned. Another factor in oil burning is a ma l f unc t i o ni n g positive crank case ventilation (PCV) valve, which is intended to route oil vapours through the com bustion chamber rather than permit ting them to escape into the atmos phere. If the PCV sys tem is not in prop er working order, it can be the cause of oil burning. Remember, excessive oil burn ing is a condition that gradually worsens and can affect other aspects of the engine. Like so many other car troubles, early detection and correction are essential, and can save you a great deal of money in the long run. * STOP DREAMING - START DRIVING PURCHASE FOR OR LEASE FOR a month for 48 months, with $4,300 downpayment or equivalent trade.
