7.2.2 Instructions and comments on endoscopic and visual examination of cylinder


liners
Terms used for endoscopic examination
Use the terms listed below to describe the condition of the cylinder-liner surface in the endoscopic examination report.
Finding Action
Minor dirt scores Minor dirt scores can occur during the assembly of a new engine (honing products, particles, bro
ken-off burrs). Removed cylinders clearly show such scoring on the running surface under endo
scope magnification. Cannot be felt with the fingernail.
Findings not critical.
Single scores Clearly visible scores from hard particles. They usually start in the TDC area and cross through the
hone pattern in the direction of stroke.
Findings not critical.
Scored area These areas consist of scores of different length and depth next to one another. In most cases,
they are found at the 6-o'clock and 12-o'clock positions (inlet/exhaust) along the transverse engine
axis.
Findings not critical.
Smoothened area Smoothened areas are on the running surface but almost the whole honing pattern is still visible.
Smoothened areas appear brighter and more brilliant than the surrounding running surface.
Findings not critical.
Polished area Polished areas are on the running surface and show local removal of the honing pattern. Grooves
from honing process are not visible any more.
Discoloration This is caused by oxidation (surface discoloration through oil or fuel) and temperature differences
around the liner. It appears rather darker within the honed structure in contrast to the bright metallic
running surface. The honing pattern is undisturbed. Discolorations extend in stroke direction and
may be interrupted.
Findings not critical.
Corrosion fields / spots Corrosion fields / spots result from water (condensed water) with the valves in the overlap (open)
position. They are clearly visible due to the dark color of the honing groove bottom.
This corrosion is not critical unless there are corrosion pittings.
Black lines Black lines are a step towards heat discoloration. They are visible as a clear discoloration from TDC
to BDC in the running surface and the start of localized damage to the honing pattern.
Cylinders with a number of black lines around the running surface have limited service life and
should be replaced.
Discolorations (Heat) These are caused by a disturbance in the liner / ring tribosystem. Usually they run over the whole
ring-travel area (TDC/BDC), starting at the first TDC-ring and becoming more visible from the sec
ond TDC-ring onwards and less pronounced from TDC-ring 1. The honing pattern is usually no
longer visible and displays a clearly defined (straight) edge to the undisturbed surface. The dam
aged surface is usually discolored. The circumferential length varies.
Liners with heat discoloration starting in the TDC-ring 1 have to be replaced.
Seizures, Seizure marks Irregular circumference lengths and depths. Can be caused either by the piston skirt or the piston
crown. Material deposits on the liner (smear), heavy discoloration. Severe, visible scoring.
TIM ID: 0000000014 - 006

Replace liner.

Evaluation of findings and further measures


The findings in the start phase of oxidation discoloration and heat discoloration are similar. Thorough investigation
and compliance with the above evaluation criteria allows a definite evaluation. To avoid unnecessary disassembly
work, it is recommended that another inspection be carried out after further operation of the engine.
