Endoscopic examination of cylinder liner
Findings
Measure
• Thin carbon coating on circumference of carbon scraper ring
• Slight localized additive deposits at top edge
• Localized smooth areas at bottom edge
• Carbon deposits on circumference in clearance between top piston
ring and bottom edge of carbon scraper ring
• First signs of marks left by top piston ring
• Bright mark on entire circumference
• Consistent honing pattern without objections
• First signs of marks left by lower cooling bores
• Running pattern seems darker
No action required
• Dark areas with even or varying degrees of discoloration
• Beginning and end of the discoloration are not sharply defined and
do not cover the entire stroke area
• Dark areas in the upper section of the cooling bore, remaining cir‐
cumference without objections
• Piston rings without objections
Further endoscopic examina‐
tion required as part of main‐
tenance work
• On the entire circumference, apart from light areas of discoloration
(that do not impair operation) clearly darker stripes that start at the
top piston ring
• Heat discoloration in the direction of stroke and honing pattern dam‐
age
• Heat discoloration of piston rings
Cylinder liner must be re‐
placed; Service must be con‐
tacted
