The valve spring in the illustration is being tested for: |
16. Technician A says the valves in many interference engines open further into the combustion chamber that than those of a non-interference engine. Technician B says if the timing belt were to break in an interference engine due to a seized bearing or water pump, damage to the valves or pistons may occur. |
|---|---|
12. A vehicle briefly blows bluish/gray smoke from the tailpipe only when first started in the mourning. The most likely cause of this condition is: |
17. Technician A says a flex fan will increase its pitch at higher engine speeds. Technician B says a viscous fan clutch contains a silicon based fluid and should be checked for leaks.
Who is correct? |
13. Technician A says an engines main bearing insert has a hole that must align with the matching bores oil supply hole. Technician B says that crankshaft bore alignment can be checked with a feeler gauge and a straightedge.
Who is correct? |
18. Two technicians are discussing the engine coolant temperature sensor. Technician A says this sensor will affect the torque converter clutch application. Technician B says this sensor will affect the engines fuel mixture.
Who is correct? |
14. A cylinder power balance test is being performed on a vehicle with sequential fuel infection. Two adjacent cylinders are under performing.
Technician A says this could be due to a restriction in the fuel injectors. Technician B says this could be due to leaking secondary insulation. Who is correct? Who is correct? |
19. A spark plug is removed and compressed shop air is introduced to the #1 cylinder while at TDC. Bubbles are seen coming out of the radiator neck. |
15. Two technicians are discussing hydraulic lifter preload. Technician A says excessive preload will cause high manifold vacuum. Technician B says insufficient preload will cause excessive valve train noise. Who is correct? |
20. A vehicle has a clogged catalytic converter. The least likely cause of this is. |
