Question 35Motor Plants - 1st Asst/Chief
70% to passWhile inspecting diesel engine combustion space components, which components would you consider for particular scrutiny for evidences of high temperature corrosion?
The correct answer is B) Exhaust valves, exhaust valve seats, piston crowns, cylinder heads and upper circumference of cylinder liners. This is the correct answer because these components are directly exposed to the high temperature combustion gases in the engine, making them susceptible to high temperature corrosion. The exhaust valves and seats, as well as the upper portion of the cylinder liners, experience the highest temperatures and are thus most at risk for corrosion-related damage. The other options are incorrect because option A) does not include the piston crowns and cylinder heads, which are also at risk, option C) is incorrect as these components can indeed be affected by high temperature corrosion, and option D) is missing the upper cylinder liner region, which is a critical area to inspect.
