Yes. Seized piston seals
Well you got me and i learned something.
I thought maybe piston seals were a nomenclature used for rings in other parts of the world. you prompted my to google the term to see if I could find if anyone called Rings , " Piston seal"s?
NOPE! That's just another figment of your imagination. But you got me too look. Should have known.
I can find no such reference in automotive terminology in any region so just more flawed waffle and ignorance on your part.
At least so I have been told by a mechanic who specialises in Ford cars.
I very much doubt that's what he said. In fact i'd be sure he said no such thing.
Remember the Netherlands is mostly flat so car engines don't have to do much work. This gives specific problems with engines building up dirt inside you don't see very often in countries where cars have to drive up a steep hill every now and then.
Nope, makes no difference. More invented excuses and attempts at face saving once again. All you would need to do now and then is put your foot down at the lights or accelerate when getting onto a highway or cruising along it. Same thing as far as engine loading goes. There is no physical or mechanical reason for engines to carbon up because they are running relatively low power, certainly not since the days of Fuel injection.
I have NEVER heard of a petrol engine unless it was old and completely shot to foul Rings. Diesels however can do it at low power but that's nothing like what you are talking about.
I run veg oil in my 4Wd and I have the injector pump turned way up so the thing runs like a scalded cat. Because I run veg oil which does not burn as clean as Diesel and in fact will leave carbon and ash deposits Diesel does not, Sticking the rings with Carbon that bakes rock hard is a potential issue.
To combat that, I run a home grown water injection system. The steam effect and the Phase change from a liquid to a gas creates cavitation which creates basically mini explosions that will displace carbon deposits but not affect the metal in the engine. This keeps the engine clean and any deposits blown out the exhaust. I also run Methanol in the water at times for much more power and it seems to have the benifit of a better cleaning effect. I don't believe it's in teh engine, I tend to think it may be in the exhaust and passages in the muffler. the effect lasts a bit after all the Meth has gone but slowly comes back unless the WI is turned right up to the point there is more water being used that oil fuel.
BTW, that is all fact, nothing to catch you out there, that's too easy anyway.
Using veg oil is a big thing in Europe and there are conversion kits to run a lot of cars on oil. Being such a big believer in biofuels, I an only onder why you are not doing this if you are truly as commited to them as you make out. I can't see anyone that was a real believer running a petrol car when there is so much info and help available where you are to run Veg oil and some of the most knowledgeable people in the world on the subject are on your door step.
Curious. Very Curious.
I believe the Netherlands is a fairly wet, cool country with high humidity so in effect, vehicles would get a decent water injection treatment anyway which would further make the idea of petrol engines gumming rings even more unlikely. It could only happen in a very rich condition where the engine was burning the fuel poorly which the computer would sense and pull back on the injections rates for emission as well as best engine operation.
And actually I know quite a bit about cars. The last two I bought had problems even the dealer couldn't fix. I got them both running right again.
No, mate, not even close. You clearly don't know the most basic things about cars or engines or a lot else. That is something you have well proven beyond all shadow of doubt. Had you any idea, you would have jumped on another one I gave you which I really thought was so obvious,
Aside from that, everyone that knows about cars clearly knew that in the day it was not the rings that stuck or got carbon deposits it was always the conrod valves due to the old type oils having a high ash content which never fully burned off due to the engine not reaching proper temp due to the short drives.
no one with any mechanical knowledge could miss it.
Conrod Valves!
You had no idea that was a made up nonsense but you want to tell me you know a lot about cars and fixed something trained mechanics at a dealership couldn't???
I doubt you could change a spark plug or oil. And that's OK, not everyone can know everything about everything but it becomes not ok when you try to pretend you do know things and make really basic mistakes that show you up to be full of it and when you just keep digging yourself in deeper. Enough already.
Please stop. PLEASE! Don't you have any shame or dignity? You are making yourself look beyond ridiculous. Completely stupid in fact. It's just embarrassing for everyone.
Just sit back, try to take things in and learn. If you have the overwhelming urge to say something, quadruple check anything and everything before you post it. You'll most likely learn a lot just from that as well.
Maybe if you took a step down off the high horse and ASKED some questions, people might even help you if you didn't come across as a know it all git and just alienated people.
Forums are a wonderful thing and you can learn so much if only you know when to shut the hell up and ask about what you don't know or just read and clue yourself in.
I really hope you'll give it a try and come at things from a different approach. It will benifit you and might benifit the rest of us as well.
