2 General Information
2.1 Engine side and cylinder designations
Engine sides are always designated as viewed from the driving end (KS).
The cylinders of the left engine side are designated "A" and those of the right side "B" (as per DIN ISO
1204). The cylinders of each bank are numbered consecutively, starting with No. 1 at the driving end.
Other components are numbered in the same way, i.e. starting with No. 1 on driving end.
1 Left engine side 3 Right engine side

2 KGS = Free end 4 KS = Driving end

• Never aim compressed air directly at electronic components.
Plant cleaning
1. Carry out plant cleaning only in areas where an appropriate oil separator is provided (environmental pro‐
tection).
2. Prior to putting the cleaning unit into operation, read the Operating Instructions of the water/steam jet unit
carefully and observe the safety precautions.
3. During external cleaning of the plant with water/steam-jet units, the pressure of the high-pressure jet
(cleaning jet) must not exceed 50 bar. A minimum distance between spray nozzle and plant of 1 m must
be observed. The temperature of the cleaning medium must not exceed 80 °C.
TIM-ID: 0000010171 - 024
4. For external cleaning with high-pressure jet, use a flat-mouth nozzle only.
5. Carry out external cleaning as follows:
a) Seal all openings in a suitable fashion.
b) Remove coarse dirt.
c) Spray on cleaner sparingly and leave it for 1 to 5 minutes.
d) Use the high-pressure jet to remove the loosened dirt.
Note: Never aim compressed air directly at electronic components.
e) Dry engine.

7.2.2 Instructions and comments on endoscopic and visual examination of cylinder
liners
Terms used for endoscopic examination

Use the terms listed below to describe the condition of the cylinder-liner surface in the endoscopic exami‐
nation report.
Findings Action
Minor dirt scores Minor dirt scores can occur during the assembly of a new engine (honing prod‐
ucts, particles, broken-off burrs). Removed cylinders clearly show such scoring
on the running surface under endoscope magnification. Cannot be felt with the
fingernail.
Findings not critical.
Single scores Clearly visible scores caused by hard particles. They usually start in the TDC
area and cross through the hone pattern in the direction of stroke.
Scored area These areas consist of scores of different length and depth next to one another.
In most cases, they are found at the 6-o'clock and 12-o'clock positions (inlet/ex‐
haust) along the transverse engine axis.
Smoothened area Smoothened areas are on the running surface but almost the whole honing pat‐
tern is still visible. Smoothened areas appear brighter and more brilliant than the
surrounding running surface.
Bright area Bright areas are on the running surface and show local removal of the honing
pattern. Grooves from honing process are not visible any more.
Discoloration This is caused by oxidation (surface discoloration through oil or fuel) and tem‐
perature differences around the liner. It appears rather darker within the honed
structure in contrast to the bright metallic running surface. The honing pattern is
undisturbed. Discolorations extend in stroke direction and may be interrupted.
Corrosion fields / Corrosion fields / spots result from water (condensed water) with the valves in
spots the overlap (open) position. They are clearly visible due to the dark color of the
honing groove bottom.
This corrosion is not critical unless there is corrosion pitting.
Black lines Black lines are a step towards heat discoloration. They are visible as a clear dis‐
coloration from TDC to BDC in the running surface and the start of localized
damage to the honing pattern.
Cylinder liners with a large number of black lines around the running surface
have limited service life and should be replaced.
TIM-ID: 0000000014 - 014

Findings Action
Burn mark This is caused by a malfunction in the liner / ring tribosystem. Usually they run
over the whole ring-travel area (TDC/BDC), starting at the first TDC-ring and be‐
coming more visible from the second TDC-ring 2 onwards and less pronounced
from TDC-ring 1. The honing pattern is usually no longer visible and displays a
clearly defined (straight) edge to the undisturbed surface. The damaged surface
is usually discolored. The circumferential length varies.
Liners with burn marks, or heat discoloration, starting in TDC-ring 1 have to be
replaced.
Seizure marks, scuff‐ Irregular circumference lengths and depths. Can be caused either by the piston

Evaluation of findings and further measures

The findings in the start phase of oxidation discoloration and heat discoloration are similar. A thorough
investigation and compliance with the above evaluation criteria allow an unambiguous evaluation. To
avoid unnecessary disassembly work, it is recommended that another inspection be carried out after fur‐
ther operation of the engine.
