Abstract
A study has been undertaken to characterize the long-term (approximately two and half years of intermittent operation) cylinder liner wear of a four-stroke, single cylinder, spark ignition engine. Surface roughness and profiles of the test liner were axially examined near TDC and BDC areas. Measurements were performed along the azimuthal direction at every 10 degree so the thrust side and anti-thrust side of the piston could be investigated. Results from mechanical stylus measurements show wear due to the oil control ring was as important as the compression ring near TDC. Wear caused by the oil control ring was found to be more severe near BDC. Experimental results confirm that the measurement technique can be applied to surfaces of tested engines.
