- The interval between engine tune up should be after completion of
30,000miles (48,309km).
4. 1.Loose spark plug, start engine shut of engine &
remove spark pug.
2.Test engine compression.
3..Check the compression ratio.
5. 4.Check battery cables for damage ,corrosion &
loose connection .
5.Check intake manifold bolts for tightness to proper
specification.Even a slight leak will reduce engine
performance.
6.Check & adjust acclerator linkages.
7.Check intake manifold and air inject system.
8.Check steering system for looseness and ease of action.

.Ceck suspension system and shock absorber for excessive
7. *.CRANK SHAFT THUMPING
Metallic, heavy & dull knocks which increase
in frequency.
Causeses-
1.Excessive main bearing clearance.
2.Excessive crankshaft axial play.
3.Crankshaft out of balance.
4.Low oil pressure.
5.Loose fly wheel.
8. *.CONNECTING ROD NOISE.
1.Excessive big end bearing clearance.
2.Insufficient lubrication.
3.Low oil pressure.
4.Misaligned connecting rod.
5.Ovalized crank pin.
9. *PISTON NOISE.
Oscillation of piston in barrel.
More evident at low r.p.m.
“ Noise may be single out by pouring SAE
50.”
*IF NOISE IS PERSISTING THEN REPLACE THE
PISTON.
10. *PISTON PIN NOISE.
Excessive clearance between pin and piston
bore.
Excessive clearance between pin and bush.
Bush loose in connecting rod small end.
11. *VALVE & TAPPET NOISE.
Excessive tappet clearance.
Broken valve spring .
Excessive wear of one or more cams on
camshaft .
12. *ENGINE VIBRATIONS.
Defective ignition.
Defective lubrication.
Crankshaft out of balance.
Clutch out of balance.
Conn-rods & piston are out of weight.
Too stiff engine support.
