However, it is also critical that the cylinder walls be
thoroughly cleaned after the de-glazing. Grit left in the
cylinder wall will cause rapid wear out of the new rings
leading to the previously discussed power problems.
Overheating of the engine from a loss of coolant will
cause the cylinder to overheat resulting in seizure of the
piston. Loss of piston cooling can also lead to piston
seizure.
Improper maintenance of the lubrication system is the
primary cause of reduced main bearing life.
Normally, worn bearings can be detected by reduced oil
pressure.
But if this wear goes undetected, the
excessive clearance will cause the rod to strike the
crankshaft causing a distinct knocking sound.
