When describing the piston position in an engines bore, what are the four acronyms are used to express location? TDC, ATDC, BDC, BTDC
Which of the following accurately describes engine displacement? Total piston, swept volume
During which of the four strokes of the diesel cycle is the cylinder pressure at its highest in a running diesel engine? Power
During what event of the intake and exhaust strokes does scavenging take place on a four stroke diesel engine? Valve overlap
Power output in the diesel engine is regulated by: Controlling the amount if fuel injected
Which of the following conditions occurs when the compression pressure is lower than normal in a diesel engine? White smoke
Which three elements are necessary for combustion? oxygen, fuel, heat
In the four stroke diesel cycle, during the intake stroke: Air is only drawn in
The measure of a diesel fuel ability to ignite quickly is referred to as: The cetane number
what tools should be used to check a cylinder block deck for warp age? Straight edge & thickness gauges
When cavitation damage is evident on a set of wet liners, which of the following is more likely to be responsible? Coolant breakdown
Most current heavy duty, diesel engine cylinder blocks are manufactured from: Compacted graphite iron (CGI)
When boiling out a cylinder block, why is it critical that all scale in the water jacket be removed? Scale is an effective insulator
Rod & main bearing journals clearances are properly measured with: Plastigage
What is the disadvantage of an articulated piston assembly when comparing it to an aluminum alloy trunk piston? Increased tensile loading on the connecting rods
what condition would a piston ring seal more effectively? High cylinder pressure
Where would a Ni - resist insert be located? upper ring belt, aluminum trunk piston
What type of piston is favored by diesel engines OEMS in past - 2007 products? Forged steel trunk
What should be used to install piston rings onto a piston? Ring expander
Rod & main bearing journal clearances are properly measured with: Plastigauge
A camshaft gear is usually precisely positioned on the camshaft using a: Key & Keyway
What tool would be required to measure the camlift of a cylinder block mounted camshaft in position? Dial indicator
Which direction must a camshaft be rotated on a diesel engine with a crank that is rotated clockwise? Either clock wise or counter clock wise, depends on the engine
On a cam-profile that is exactly opposite the toe is referred to as the: Heel
A crankshaft has a fracture failure that appears to have initiated at a throw journal oil hole. What would be the cause? Failed vibration damper
What would be the more likely outcome of running an engine with a failed vibration damper? Crankshaft failure
Balanced steel housing, inertia ring, silicon fluid, mercury, Which of the following is not a component of a viscous type vibration damper? mercury
What should be used to measure the alignment of the flywheel housing in relation to the center line of the crankshaft? magnetic base and dial indicator
oil that has a milky, clouded appearance is probably contaminated with: Engine Coolant
oil that has a cloudy, appearance is probably contaminated with: Water
Which type of oil pump is most commonly used in current highway diesel engines? External Gear
When investigating a low oil pressure complaint, what should you check for? Check the crankcase oil level
What transfers heat more efficiently? Pure water
What is the warmest portion of a typical downflow-type radiator? The Top tank
What describes the operating principle of a typical coolant pump on a highway diesel engine? Centrifugal
When the thermostat routes the coolant through the bypass circuit, what is happening? The Coolant is cycled primarily through the engine
Wet liner cavitation is caused by: Vapour bubble collapse
If a rad cap pressure valve fails to seal, what would be the likely outcome? Coolant boil off
