[QUOTE="DieselTech, post: 1223292, member: 74999"] So, ultimately, piston/ring wear is extremely accelerated in 2T's, and rather than measuring and comparing to specs, it's just easier to go ahead and replace them while you are in there? Considering what you said, this also makes sense to me - especially if you consider the time involved and chances for mistakes or even the possibility of catastrophic failure shortly after a "passing" inspection due to fatigue. Does this sound correct? The "proper" thing to do then would be to disassemble, inspect, and measure the piston, rings, rod bearing/pin, and cylinder, then replace parts that are out of service due to condition/wear, correct? I can see how just replacing the piston/rings can be much faster, plus act as "cheap insurance". Thanks! I wonder then about the 4T's (high-compression, multi-valve OHC engines)? Do they wear pistons as quickly as 2T's, or is it just the 2T's that have this accelerated wear because of their design & lubrication? I mean, these 4T's are revving pretty high, like 13,000 rpm, and wear is incrementally proportional to speed, something like 4x as much wear at each doubling of the speed (so 4x as much wear @ 4000 rpm as compared to 2000 rpm, and 16x as much wear @ 8000 rpm as compared to 2000 rpm). Of course, diesels spin much slower, therefore less wear, which if you apply my crude, partially correct (?) formula, makes some sense. :nod: [/QUOTE]
