Motor segmentation everything you need to know from mechanics

What does engine segmentation mean

The internal combustion engines are made up of pistons that move forward and forth in the cylinders, due to the combustion force that pushes them back.

The segmentation of the engine involves the replacement of the segments on the engine pistons. When the engine begins to remove black smoke on the drain and the consumption of engine oil increases, this is due to the wear of the segments that allow you to enter the oil in the combustion chamber.

By designing the segment, they are the piston rings made of resistant metal, resistant to wear, which are mounted in the grooves at the ends of the pistons.

Piston segments carry out three main tasks, that is to say:

• Seal the sliding movement of the piston in the cylinder;
• Regulates oil consumption;
• It prevents the overheating of the piston.

Almost all high -speed petrol and diesel engines have only 3 rings on the piston: two compression and an oil scraper, which is installed under the compression rings.

Therefore, the piston segments, which include oil waste, play a huge role in the vehicle’s engine. This kit consists of 3 elements: upper compression, compression ring and lower ring for oil. Many parameters depend on the performance of these elements. Consequently, it is very important to pay attention to the changes that may occur and know exactly when they should be replaced (segmentation).

When the engine shows signs that the segments are destroyed, the cheapest and most useful solution must be segmented.

What does engine segmentation mean?

This is a process through which the engine is dismantled, inspected, clean and replaced the used parts.

The segmentation of a used engine is an accessible financial option, which can save you from other inconveniences. Most of the time the drivers choose the replacement of the engine, but in addition to it it is more expensive than the repair, most of the time situations of incompatibility between the new engine and the on -board computer can occur.

The ON -BOARD computer recognizes only the original engine. The installation of a new engine leads to ECU connection problems. In such situations, the modification of the engine requires a recovery or replacement of the on -board computer.

When do you need segmentation?

The segment is required when the following symptoms appear:

• The engine loses power (reducing traction following reduced compression);
• Increases oil consumption;
• Increases fuel consumption.

A precise diagnosis of segments is carried out by checking compression in the cylinders and conditions of the cylinder – used piston compressed air.

The compression test is considered optimal:

• 11 – 13 ATM. – for petrol engines.
• 23 – 40 ATM – For the diesel mirror.

What the engine segmentation involves

As I have already said, the segmentation of an engine involves its disassembly and removal from the car, as well as the disassembly to the last part, identifying the used parts to replace them.

The parts more commonly replaced when the engine segmentation occurs are:

The garnish of the head and absolutely all the gaskets that have been dismantled

• Bearings;
• The belt and the distribution chain as can be the case;
• Oil pump;
• Arches Valve;
• Engine oil;
• Filters.

In more advanced wear you can also replace the pistons, the camshaft or the elbow tree, but this depending on what is dismantled.

Diesel engine segmentation

The segmentation of the diesel engine is performed when the following symptoms appear:

• The power of the engine decreases;
• Increase in oil consumption;
• Increase in fuel consumption;
• Black exhaust smoke.

The segmentation of the diesel engine consists in replacing all used parts.

Petrol of the segmentation engine

A sudden reduction in compression, an increase in fuel consumption and oil, engine starting problems … All this may indicate the wear of the power unit.

In most cases, when these symptoms occur, motor segmentation is required.

What you need to know about the segmentation of the engine based on the engine or the automotive brand

The segmentation of a car engine is a solution proposed by the service to which it is called, when you lose a lot of oil, when the points under the car, the smoke, the lack of compression under 10 bar on diesel and less than 10 atmospheres to petrol or when the engine does not go around.

How much does the engine segment cost (parts + processing)

The cost of segmenting an engine consists of:

• Disassembly – between 800-1500 she;
• Bank repair -tra 1000-1500 she;
• Spare parts and segment – 200 – 400 she;
• The garnish of the head – between 80 and 400 she.

Everything differs strictly depending on the brand and the car model. In addition, prices may vary depending on the supplier of the parties.

Parts required for engine segmentation

Very often the parts required for engine segmentation are:

• 4 BUC piston segment set;
• Citula cover garnish;
• The garnish of the head;
• Oil lid – 8 pieces;
• Oil coverage – 8 pieces;
• Oil filter;
• Bold the head – 10 pieces;
• Piston Rings 6 set;
• The upper newspaper (includes all cradle seals);
• River bearings;
• Indigenous gaskets;
• Garnitura Paleti;
• Cuzinets White;
• The garnish of the assumption;
• Guard of the suction column;
• Exhaust garnish;
• Valve Simerings;
• Oil filter;
• Semseruri Axe;
• Vibrochen simering;
• Segments set;
• Valve simering set;
• SIMERINI Assis with Cam and the elbow tree;
• Oil bath garnish;
• Ghide gasket cover.

After selecting the engine

After selecting the engine, they need time to perform. As in the cars of the car, it is not advisable to go with more than 3000 rpm for the first 5000 km.

In conclusion, the segmentation of the engine is an operation that can save your car and that a specialist must perform. If you come from Brasov or surroundings, we are waiting for you Our service for a diagnosis.
