Engine Tuning Steps

Volvo A35D swing motor

1. Preparation

Disassembly: Start by disassembling the engine and making sure all parts are clean and free of debris.
Component Inspection: Inspect engine components such as pistons, connecting rods, and rings to make sure there is no damage.

2. Adjusting the Intake Valves

Valve Clearance: Use the valve gauge to measure the intake valve clearance. Adjust the valves to the specified tolerance of 0.2 mm.
Check: Check the valve clearance again to make sure it is within tolerance.

3. Adjusting the Exhaust Valves

Valve Clearance: Similar to intake valve adjustment, measure the exhaust valve clearance and adjust to the specified tolerance of 0.5 mm.
Check: Check the exhaust valve clearance again to ensure it is within tolerance.

4. Displacement Adjustment

Compression: Perform a compression test to ensure the engine is under proper pressure.
Cylinder Adjustment: Adjust the cylinders to service manual specifications.

5. Assembly and Testing

Reassembly: Reassemble the engine and replace all components that were removed.
Functional Tests: Perform functional tests to ensure that the engine runs properly and without problems.

Conclusion

Volvo D12DAAE2 engine timing is a detailed process that requires precision and attention to detail. By following these steps and ensuring that the valves are adjusted to the specified tolerances, you can keep your engine in top condition and extend its life.

The importance of a good timing cannot be underestimated. A well-tuned engine not only ensures smooth and efficient operation, but also prevents premature component wear. By keeping intake and exhaust valves within proper tolerances, combustion is optimized and engine power is maximized, resulting in superior performance and lower fuel consumption.

Additionally, regular engine tuning is essential to detect any potential problems early. By inspecting and adjusting valves and cylinders, mechanics can identify and correct small problems before they become major failures. Not only does this save time and money on costly repairs, it also extends engine life and ensures vehicle safety.

Buying a new machine or thinking about alternative solutions like leasing, renting or repairing?

When the machine used for earthmoving breaks down, what are the alternative solutions that the owner has?

Buying new construction machinery certainly has its advantages if you have the right budget.

When the budget is limited, you can repair the machine and, in the meantime, you can opt for a rental option. Repair can be done with new or recycled spare parts.

Many users do not like the idea of replacing their old machine with a new one, both for economic reasons and for reasons of difficulty in learning new technologies. If the operator uses the machine well and is productive, a repair is a good solution.

Some owners, for example, would choose to repair any component with the goal of maximizing the overall life expectancy of their machine. Continue reading Buying a new machine or thinking about alternative solutions like leasing, renting or repairing?

Online shopping in the time of covid-19: considerations and advice

Many construction machine owners may be concerned about purchasing spare parts during COVID -19. The need to avoid contact, as well as various travel restrictions, can make shopping nearly impossible.

These reasons, combined with the need to save, lead the owner of heavy machinery to seek practical and convenient solutions. Even before the pandemic, used parts and equipment were bought online, but from now on this type of transaction will increasingly become the norm. Buyers will choose to buy from companies that have products with a high value and a quick and easy buying process.

In fact, the recent COVID-19 outbreak has changed the way we interact with customers. In our case, we received visits from many clients, national and international, who came to “know personally” our company. In this situation, all this has become impossible, so we have implemented a series of strategies to share online as much information as possible about our business and our company.

Buying spare parts for excavators, loaders, backhoe loaders, bulldozers, dump trucks etc., is not like buying a book or a mobile phone. It is necessary for the buyer to know exactly what he needs and, if he does not know, to provide all the technical information to the seller.

In recent years (source Oberlo.com) online shopping has increased by more than 150% and there has been a significant growth, especially in 2020. This has made it possible for online scams to grow too.

In the next paragraph we will give you some useful tips to buy online and avoid scams. Continue reading Online shopping in the time of covid-19: considerations and advice

Increase machine productivity and efficiency through spare parts management

Any component with moving parts has a limited life cycle.

A construction machine owner should consider a well-planned spare parts system having the right spare parts. Having parts on hand offers a greater chance of eliminating unwanted downtime.

When the machine stops, the losses are multiple, such as employee inactivity, lost of contracts and orders, just to name a few.

It should not be overlooked that in the event that the machine stops due to a breakdown, the inability to have the correct replacement parts can lead to higher costs. For example such as the additional costs of requesting a fast delivery or the safety risk by implementing an improper repair to try to get the machine working again without the proper replacement.

Having a basic supply of spare parts on hand can reduce the risks and problems identified above.

But how do you know which spare parts a heavy machine owner should always have available?

First, it is necessary to identify which machines have the greatest impact on production. Consequently, focusing on older machines that are no longer in production, as replacement parts can be difficult to obtain. It is very important consider when request parts, especially at short notice, and therefore forced to go to the non–genuine parts market of usually poor quality.

Therefore, the objective of spare parts management should be to ensure the lowest possible overall cost, both in economic terms and in terms of productivity.

Spare parts management is a determining factor for better machine efficiency.

Maintenance of machines and organization of spare parts

Routine maintenance implies the need to organize an efficient system of available spare parts. An understanding of which cannot be dispensed whit.

For scheduled maintenance, on the other hand, spare parts must be requested within a specified period. For these, it is useless to manage the warehouse, it is rather useful to know the life cycle of each important component for the functionality of the machine.

What can the maintenance manager do to keep everything under control?

First, you must generate consumption statistics and then maintain a close collaboration with the suppliers of the parts to ensure their availability with acceptable delivery times. In addition, you must constantly communicate with maintenance technicians to know the status of machines in real time and classify spare parts according to their strategic importance.

Therefore, it is advisable to always have the so-called critical spare parts available, that is, those that reduce machine downtime due to breakdowns.

It is understandable that a company does not have the financial availability to buy, for example, a transmission or an engine and keep them in stock. But a machine which doesn’t work cannot be afforded.

To overcome these problems, you can contact Taop Parts. We have thousands of spare parts available for machines such as wheel loaders, excavators, dump truck, bulldozers, backhoe, loaders etc.

Taop Parts offers recycled, original, verified and reliable spare parts that save money for the machine owner, but above all it gives you the opportunity to have your own warehouse for spare parts, especially for critical ones.
