GAZ-66, ZIL-131, KAvZ, PAZ: compression up, fuel use and emissions down

Compression increased and evened out across cylinders, gasoline consumption dropped, emissions decreased. 10–15 % — compression across cylinders, 3.0–11.0 → 6.0–11.7 kgf/cm²; 6–13 % — petrol consumption, measured on a metered 100 g portion of fuel; 46–67 % — HC content in exhaust gases, 300–2000 → 230–780 ppm (Russia · 2001).

Customer's summary after treating the fleet

DOCUMENTWHAT THE CUSTOMER RECORDED
Summary of the work“I consider the use of XADO technology for restoring worn mechanisms in regular service to be expedient at an engine life consumption of 25–75 % and with no oil leaks, including operation in severe climatic conditions”
Check disassembly“During the disassembly of a ZMZ engine after 150,000 km, the piston group and the crankshaft were measured. The dimensions comply with GOST”
Observations across the fleet“Significant improvement in engine operation”, “Increase in oil pressure”, “Reduction in oil consumption”, “Easier engine starting in winter”, “Reduction of CO and HC emissions”

The summary was signed by S. A. Brusov, head of automotive operations at AUTT-1 of the Almetyevneft division, on 04.09.2001, contract No. 15 of 23.08.2001. This is the customer's assessment, not our measurement.

The percentages come from the “Results” section of each act. Compression rises up to the factory nominal and stops there: the heavier the wear, the larger the gain.

Metered portion of 100 g: the longer the engine runs on it, the lower the consumption. A reduction was recorded on seven of the eight vehicles where consumption was measured.

PAZ-32051, V 648 EM1.8 → 2.03.0 → 3.0

A rise in pressure means restored clearances in the friction pairs of the lubrication system: the pump holds pressure again. On ZIL-131, 69-19 TBV, the act also noted that an oil leak stopped.

Conclusions of the acts and of the customer

All ten acts of Almetyevsk TTD-1 were drawn up on the same form and end with the same list: higher compression and evening-out across cylinders, lower petrol consumption, lower CO and HC emissions, “complete cleaning of the engine”. The worn engines responded most strongly: on the PAZ-32051 the compression spread between cylinders narrowed from 4.5 to 0.8 kgf/cm², on a ZIL-131 the weakest cylinder rose from 3.0 to 6.0 kgf/cm². Where an engine ran evenly, the gain is smaller: compression rises up to the factory nominal and stops there. On a KAvZ bus the act recorded separately: “In the first cylinder of the left bank the ring must be replaced urgently, as evidenced by the drop in compression” — the treatment did not hide a mechanical defect but revealed it. Following the work, the customer found the technology expedient to use at an engine life consumption of 25–75 %.
