Many drivers are wicked sooner or later - how to independently remove the engine crankcase pallet. Today we will study this issue in detail, in parallel, disobey, what is the design of this part and for what reasons it may need to be replaced.
Putton destination
First, we'll figure it out in the design of the detail under consideration:
- The engine crankcase pallet is usually made from a strong metal (most often aluminum is used for these purposes). In some models of cars, such a detail is made of steel.
- If we talk about the appearance of the pallet, then it looks like a pomp of a rectangular shape, slightly elongated in length.
- The pallet is attached to a block consisting of cylinders. It is attached by bolts and studs.
- A traffic jam is located on the side of the pallet, through which it is possible to flush the oil that is in engines.
- The main purpose of the pallet is the protection of the receiver for oil and other elements of the engine crankcase from various kinds of damage and dirt. Among other things, it is used as a tank for a motor type oil.
- From this pallet pump, the oil is issued to the head of the cylindrical block, where and lubricates some elements that need it, after which it falls on its original place.
Malfunctions that may occur
Immediately, it should be said that even small breakdowns in the pallet can lead to serious negative consequences, so that it is not worth ignored by anything. Otherwise, you will have to give considerable amounts to repair the engine.
Notice some faults that may occur with the pallet, just enough, you can observe how the oil leaks. It usually leaves a small puddle on the asphalt under the car. The reasons for such a breakdown can be different, most often it is:
- well-tightened drain plug
- the pallet bolt is not tightened on all power
- the gasket was worn out
- in the metal appeared defects in the form of cracks
The most dangerous reason for such a breakdown is cracks on a metal surface, so have this fact in mind. They can appear when hitting borders and other barriers on the road (including boulders and stones). With a strong tightening of the bolts, too, the metal can crack.
Dismantling pallet
When it was time to remove the crater tray, there are a lot of questions, the main of which is - is it possible to remove the pallet on their own without help. In fact, the answer is unequivocal - of course, you can and now we will find out how to do it, disassembled the process in stages:
- To begin with, the owner of the car must prepare the container, it must be clean in obligatory. It will be appropriate to use a canister, which will be widespread enough. Only now the packaging should be such a volume that all the oil is placed there, which is in the pallet.
- Now you will need to put a car from which you are going to shoot a pallet to a special car pit or find a flight for these purposes.
- The next step - the car owner must warm the car engine, and so that its temperature reaches 60 0. This procedure is necessary so that the oil in it has become liquid and flows very well, merging the thickened oil is a rather complicated procedure.
- In some models of cars on a motor-type compartment there are special protection, and if this is your case - then you need to remove it and for this you just need to unscrew several bolts.
- It's time to cook the packaging, in which you will drain the oil and substitute it under the drain plug, which will need to be carefully unscrewed so that the oil began to flow out of the motor. This process is quite dangerous, because, no matter how hard you try, the engine oil will fall into the hands and on clothes, so keep in mind that this process is "dirty" and in a white shirt to do it for sure costs.
- It is necessary to ensure that as many oils can fall into the container prepared by you, because you will need after pouring it back, so do everything possible so that the losses are close to zero.
- When the oil flows completely, it will be possible to start the filthy of nuts that are elements of fastening the entire system.
After the proceedings done, you can try to carefully pull the palter of the crankcase to yourself to remove it. If you did not achieve the desired result. Most likely, the details were glued together. To correct the position, you need to take a hammer of rubber and carefully knock on the pallet, after which it will be necessary to podlock with a sharp item, by type, screwdriver, you will need to make a pallet (you need to do it very carefully so that no details are damaged).
In this way, you can quickly remove the pallet of the crankcase without much difficulties, and at the same time do not seek help from specialists who, in turn, will take a fee with you for the operations made with your car, and the amount in this case will impressive.
As you could notice, in order to independently remove the pallet, no special knowledge and skills in this case will simply be needed, it will be able to cope with such a task, who at least once kept a screwdriver in his hand, a hammer and knows what the car consists of, in principle. Everything is simple enough, especially if you have a step-by-step instruction before your eyes.
