Marine Main Engine Cylinder Liner Wear, Piston Ring Clearance & Blow-By Tool

Turn cylinder-unit measurements into a structured condition screen. Simple mode checks worst liner wear, ovality, piston-ring end gap, groove clearance and observed blow-by. Advanced adds multi-height liner geometry, wear-rate trending, ring-by-ring condition, exhaust/compression deviation, drain-oil iron and cylinder-specific overhaul priorities.

Fast cylinder-unit condition screen. Use OEM measurements and limits from the engine manual. This tool does not create universal liner or piston-ring rejection criteria and does not calculate an actual blow-by mass-flow rate.

Cylinder Liner / Condition Register

Measure at consistent heights and directions per the engine manual. Previous wear and hours are used only to estimate wear rate.

Piston Ring & Groove Register

Ring limits can differ by ring design, coating, gas-tight lock and engine type, so every ring row carries its own user-entered acceptance values.

Measurement / Inspection Checks

Condition boundary: this tool does not certify cylinder fitness, predict seizure, or calculate true combustion-gas leakage. OEM inspection procedures and limits remain controlling. Abnormal scuffing, broken/stuck rings, excessive gas bypass, rapid wear or unusual drain-oil debris can require action even when dimensional values remain inside entered limits.
