Abstract:
A method of modifying a combustion seal of a diesel engine fitted with a cylinder liner having an annular top sealing ridge which is damaged or mispositioned so as to interrupt the combustion seal is provided. The method includes exposing the sealing ridge and, without removing the liner from the engine, clamping and plastically deforming a combustion seal shim against the sealing ridge to perfect the combustion seal.
