Students have asked these similar questions
A vehicle has had several radiator
replacements, and each time there has been
pinhole leaks in the aluminum. Technician A
states that the engine coolant may need to be
exchanged more often. Technician B states
that the engine grounds should be inspected
closely since this could be the cause. Who is
correct?
Select one:
a. Technician A only
b. Technician B only
c. Both Technicians A and B
d. Neither Technician A nor B
Carbon deposits on the intake valve or seat may cause the valve not to close properly. Tech a says that the flywheel will be harder to spin when starting the engine. Tech b says that the engine will loose power. Who is correct?
A compression test gave the following results: cylinder #1 = 155, cylinder #2 = 140, cylinder #3 = 110, cylinder #4 = 105. Technician A says that a defective (burned) valve is the most likely cause. Technician B says that a leaking head gasket could be the cause.

- While diagnosing the cause for an engine having good results from a compression test and cylinder leakage test but poor results from a cylinder power balance test: Technician A says that incorrect valve timing is the most likely cause. Technician B says that a severely worn cam lobe is a likely cause. Who is correct? Technician A Technician B Both A and B Neither A nor Barrow_forwardTechnician A says that if an engine had good results from a compression test, it will have good results from a cylinder leakage test Technician B says that if an engine had good results from a cylinder leakage test, it will have good results from a running compression test Who is correct? Technician A Technician B Both A and B Neither A nor Barrow_forwardWhile discussing the results of an oil pressure test: Technician A says that when the fluid pressures are high, internal leaks, a clogged filter, low oil pump out put, or a faulty pressure regulator valve are indicated. Technician B says that if the fluid pressure increased at the wrong time, an internal leak at the servo or clutch seal is indicated. Who is correct? a. Technician A only b. Technician B only c. Both A and B d. Neither A nor Barrow_forward
- While determining the cause for air leaking out of the oil throttle body during a cylinder leakage test: Technician A says that a burnt intake valve is indicated. Technician B says that a warped cylinder head or bad head gasket is indicated. Who is correct? Technician A Technician B Both A and B d. Neither A nor Barrow_forwardTechnician A says an engine may use one or more valve springs per valve. Technician B says additional valve springs are used to control vibration and increase total pressure. Who is correct? a. Technician A b. Technician B c. Both A and B d. Neither A nor Barrow_forwardTechnician A says it is not necessary to measure valve stem height unless the valves have been replaced. Technician B says valve stem height can be adjusted with shims. Who is correct? Technician A Technician B Both A and B Neither A nor Barrow_forward
- Technician A says that the purpose of a valve body is to increase oil pressures in response to increases in engine speed. Technician B says that valve bodies are normally fitted with three different types of valves, which start, stop, or use movable parts to regulate and direct the flow of fluid throughout the transmission. Who is correct? a. Technician A only b. Technician B only c. Both A and B d. Neither A nor Barrow_forwardWhich of the following is not an effective way to determine if an engine has an internal coolant leak? Performing a pressure test on the system Visually inspecting the exhaust, coolant, and engine oil Using a dye penetrant and black light Using a combustion leak testerarrow_forwardTrue or False? Valve lash is adjusted in many different ways; however, on many OHC engines, the clearance is set by replacing a shim.arrow_forward
- Technician A says that positive valve stem seals fit tightly around the top of the valve guide. Technician B says that positive stem seals scrape oil off the valve as it moves up and down. Who is correct? Technician A Technician B Both A and B Neither A nor Barrow_forwardTechnician A says that if the PCV valve or connecting hoses become clogged, excessive pressure will develop in the crankcase and can cause oil leaks. Technician B says that if the PCV valve or connecting hoses become clogged, oil may be pushed into the air cleaner or cause it to be drawn into the intake manifold. Who is correct? Technician A Technician B Both A and B Neither A nor Barrow_forwardTrue or False? A compression gauge will show the amount of air leaking through a cylinder as a percentage.arrow_forward
