KamAZ engines: compression up, cylinders evened out

Compression increased in all cylinders of both vehicles, the spread between cylinders decreased. 9.1–20.6 % — compression by cylinder on both trucks, 22.2–26.6 → 25.9–30.0 (2001).

Oil pressure in kgf/cm². At idle the “before” reading was taken at 45 °C, the “after” reading at 60 °C.

What the reports state

Both SMU-46 reports record one and the same result. For truck V 841 OKh: “Compression increased by 14 %, evened out across the cylinders”. For truck V 814 EM: “Compression increased by 15.5 %, evened out across the cylinders. Considerable drop in oil consumption. Noises in engine operation gone. The truck has become more responsive” — and this despite the fact that high oil consumption is recorded in the same report as the condition of the engine before the treatment. The rise was obtained in all eight cylinders of the right bank, and the most worn ones caught up the most: the spread between cylinders narrowed from 1.8–1.9 to 0.4–0.7. Compression cannot rise above the factory nominal, so bringing the cylinders to a single value is the most that can be achieved. The check readings were taken after 11 014 km and 15 445 km of the trucks’ regular service.

XADO Pilot Testing Programme

Application submitted by

Pilot treatment on the enterprise's equipment

  • any oil- or grease-lubricated assemblies: gearboxes, engines, compressors, bearings and others;
  • treatment within the regular operating cycle, without halting production;
  • instrumental measurements before and after: vibration, temperature, power consumption or current;
  • procedure for the specific assembly, dose calculation and support from a XADO engineer.

After the application, a XADO engineer will agree the units and the list of measurements with you.
