摘要

Procedure to prevent, control and repair the seizure in crankshaft bearings in gas engines. It develops from an exhaustive control of the depression in the crankcase. When the value of the depression reaches -15 mm h2 o the operation of the extraction system is checked, in terms of frequency and condition of the filters. Based on the results, cylinder heads and intercooler are examined to determine if the source is leaking water. If the result of the inspection is satisfactory, shirts, hoops and pistons will be inspected. In a complementary manner, the working water temperature will be reduced from 93ºC to 90ºC and the time between revisions from 15,000 working hours to 10,000 hours.
