STAGES OF ENGINE VALVE CLEANING SYSTEM

The engine valve cleaning machines are usually equipped with 4-stage aqueous cleaning system and mostly use detergent chemicals as aqueous solvents. So, read on as we unravel the engine valve cleaning machine system step-by-step. Pre-Cleaning Tank The engine components at this stage are first dipped in hot solvents with temperatures close to 70 Celsius. This stage aids the removal of most of the oil along with ensuring a coarse clean for all the components. Subsequently, the engine components are administered to a flood wash by returning the detergent chemicals through an educator. Though, sometimes the components are also dunked to the brim to ensure better impingement and oil dissolution. Soak Cleaning The soak cleaning process is largely similar to the pre-cleaning tank process. With the exception, that in this stage solvents are replaced by aqueous detergent chemicals that ensure an even finer cleaning of the components. Additionally, the solvents used

WHAT IS THE RIGHT PROCEDURE FOR OXYGEN SENSOR CLEANING?

The oxygen sensor plays a pivotal part in a car engine and as such is roughly just the size of a spark plug. However, if the oxygen sensor is left dirty it often triggers the “check engine” light to come on and might result in some ghastly accidents as well such as car burning due to extra gasoline discharge. Keeping these points in mind, we have covered a step-by-step procedure of oxygen sensor cleaning for our reader’s reference. Step1- Locate the Oxygen Sensor Before locating the oxygen sensor, as a pro tip, always put on some sturdy work gloves and protective eyewear to protect yourself from any potential harm. Now, place a jack under the part of the vehicle chassis and slowly lift the car. Step2- Identify the Oxygen Sensor To locate an oxygen sensor first check the vehicle’s owner’s manual to understand the exact location of the sensor. Generally, the oxygen sensor should be in front of the car’s catalytic converter. Step3- Clean the Oxygen Sensor
