Engine Contaminants






Engine Contaminants

To prevent foreign objects from entering when working on the engine, seal the open intake and exhaust ports with suitable plugs, for example from the engine bung set (VAS 6122).

If mechanical damage to a cylinder bank is found, check the intake and exhaust tract and the combustion chambers in the opposite cylinder back for foreign objects to prevent further damage.
