Not all consumers like products of the domestic manufacturer of passenger cars in the face of a leading flagship of AVTOVAZ. This explains the fact that almost in any city of Russia on-road touring cars mostly of foreign production. However, not all domestic cars are so bad. It is necessary to highlight the brand "Lada Priora" (VAZ 2170), which has one peculiarity. The car engine is equipped with a lightweight connecting rod and piston group, which can reduce noise when operating the power plant. In addition, it now consumes less fuel. And all would be well, but every piston on the "Prior" has takovou design.

Piston Priora

What could be? As noted by many drivers, who have already managed to enjoy the peace and economy of the car, broken timing belt is quite a common occurrence. According to the manufacturer (this is also stated in the instructions), resource timing is 200 thousand km, however, the practice proves the opposite. Many drivers broken belt it happens much earlier – after 40-60 thousand kilometers.

Function belt

In any car, even with the most modern electronics, there is a gas distribution mechanism (or a GRM). The total system consists of:

  • Gas distribution shaft;
  • Valves (intake and exhaust for each cylinder);
  • Rod (intermediate shaft and between the valves);
  • Timing belt (or chain or group of gears).

All the motors work in the mode of four cycles. The operation of all valves (open-close) and pistons "priors" for each cylinder is performed in a strict sequence. To do this, the camshaft must rotate. This involved the crankshaft, which is then transmitted motion on the shaft belt, and the belt, chain or set of gears act as a liaison.

Diagnostics timing belt

Many beginners among the holders of "Prior" may wonder how it is possible to diagnose the timing belt. Experienced drivers know that this procedure does not carry anything complicated. As already known, the breakage of the timing belt facing dangerous consequences as the whole engine. It is possible to learn the characteristic sound – in that moment, when the belt breaks, for a short time heard a loud Bang from under the hood, and the car immediately stalls. Thereafter, the engine start is impossible, the starter will be accompanied by a characteristic metallic knocking – so the piston is "Priora" hit the valves.Replacement pistons Priora

To permanently delete a meeting of pistons and valves, it is necessary to periodically check technical condition of the timing belt. Also worth checking out his tension. Closer to around 60-70 mileage in thousands of km, is to listen carefully to the engine and when it detects unusual sounds, which should not be, should immediately run a diagnostic. You can do this yourself or go to the service center where the work will be done on a more professional level.

A Visual inspection will determine the belt needs to be replaced or not. On the surface there should be no defects. If you can see cracks or to detect that the integrity of the teeth is broken, it is possible to draw unfavorable conclusions and to go to the nearest auto parts store. Should also alert the smudges and oil production.

Causes of belt breakage

Due to a broken belt piston "priors" starts to bend the valve, but which could bring the belt to such a state? The main reason – it is an inevitable natural wear. It is important to be realistic and realize that any strap, even from the highest quality material, are unlikely to withstand for more than 100,000 km of mileage. Therefore it is better to replace after every 60-65 thousand kilometers.

Domestic car

But, apart from wear, the belt breaks and other reasons. You should set the timing with weak or excessive tension – breakage can not be avoided. Russian car operation in high load conditions also does not benefit. In some cases, the tensioner pulley can become loose or damaged to varying degrees. Also the water pump pulley can jam at the wrong time. All this can also lead to slippage or breakage of the timing.

If a link is worn out, the savings are not held, because everyone knows that usually the case with the avaricious people, from famous sayings.

What is so terrible breakage timing?

The node timing is an important mechanism in the engine not only the "priors", but also any other vehicle. And that node has one element, which is a very big responsibility. We are talking about the drive belt that connects all elements of the system. In good condition the timing belt allows the valves and pistons to work in synchronous mode. However, they do not interact with each other, which greatly prolongs their life.

However, this slight failure at the Russian cars, like the breakage of the timing belt can lead to disastrous result – the smooth operation of the entire system fails. The whole mechanism is stopped and each of the valves and stopsdifferent position. And well, if some of them will not meet with a piston, which moves forward. Unfortunately, in most cases the inevitable happens – the piston hits the valve.

The Outcome of this meeting can be very different. And bending of the valve is far from all. The destruction is exposed to the whole piston and a gas distribution unit. You can rarely get off with minor damage, but in practice the consequences are serious. Not ruled out the possibility of complete engine failure, and in this case will help only capital repairs. Does anyone know how much "prior"? We will talk about this later.

Piston on the prior price

Such consequences can be caused by a factory defect, although not so simple. On native pistons counterbore (samples under the valve) a very small size. Someone can immediately be objected, expressing the view that the need to monitor the condition of the timing belt.

In part, this remark is true. However, even thorough diagnosis does not guarantee, and sooner or later the trouble still catches. The only question is when and where?!

Features of working pistons

The pistons of a car engine is an essential element of cylindrical shape crank mechanism (CSV), which plays a key role. He converts the explosive energy from the combustion of the fuel-air mixture in the translational motion, which is transmitted to the crankshaft. This all happens in a cyclic mode.

I Wonder still, has anyone thought about the question: "How much "prior"?" Especially for them to announce: a new car will cost 390-490 thousand rubles (depending on configuration).

In the process of operation of the engine the piston is always exposed to mechanical loads in conditions of especially high temperature. Inside the engine "priors" pressure can reach enormous values – a 6.5-8 MPa, which is equivalent to almost several tons.

Explosions of fuel can accelerate the pistons to a speed of 100 km/h and faster. With the explosion of the mixture temperature reaches 1800-2600°C, and this thermal load to a great extent affects the strength characteristics. Also there are abrupt temperature changes, leading to thermal stress.

Design Feature of pistons

To withstand the enormous loads during engine operation, the piston must have the necessary characteristics. First of all, the item must have as much as possible, light weight. The material from which manufactured pistons for internal combustion engines, must have high indicators of wear resistance. And detail quickly cooled, used in the manufacture of alloy have good heat.

In addition, the surface of the piston in the engine of domestic car must be manufactured accordingly, to eliminate the risk of jamming when exposed to high temperature. At the same time the products of combustion of the fuel should not leak into the crankcase.

Typically, the upper surface of the piston is covered with a special protective coating to withstand the maximum load. The whole working surface of the piston also has a special coating for better sliding in the cylinder bore. The material stays all resource details.Beautyboy piston Priora

The Skirt of the piston is designed to compensate for thermal expansion. In the production process it is the phase of processing tools, resulting in micro-relief. This measure allows the oil to linger longer on the details, and effectively reduce the friction.

It's all about regular products for "Lada Priora". As can be seen, the pistons correspond to many demands on durability and reliability. Bettylou piston "priors" fully similar to the standard product, but with one difference – present deep sample on top. The result is the probability of the meeting of pistons and valves that protects those and other from damage.

Options bezviconi pistons

In each case it is decided individually. In the Russian market you can find different products, including beautycode pistons

  • "STI".
  • "AVTRAMAT".
  • STK, OOO (Samara).

Pistons "STI" from Togliatti produced by hot pressing, which is their main feature. However, the response from many owners of the "priors" they received, and here's why: the compression ratio is very low, and the combustion chamber can be quite substantial. As a result, significantly decreases the efficiency of the engine. Such products are less thermally stable due to low silicon content. But the lack of Nickel reduces their resource. In addition, when installing such pistons broken timing belt - a phenomenon quite frequent. In addition, the price of such pistons is quite high.

Products "AVTRAMAT" are manufactured in Ukraine on the territory of Kharkiv enterprises by using casting method. They also have their weaknesses, however, the efficiency was reduced insignificantly, which is not bad.

Samara Pistons STK "Priora" have similar characteristics as the Kharkiv part, however, have more weight. This is their main drawback, but the advantage will likely please many, because the price is a third less. Besides, on the surface of the sample deeper.STK Pistons Priora

Of the options considered everyone will choose something for the soul, but it is better to avoid products from the masters of Togliatti, for obvious reasons. Its better to buy expensive pistons, than then to suffer with cheap parts.

Replacement pistons

The Decision to replace the stock pistons on bestialy option is more than justified because it will protect the engine from imminent failure. The work requires a good approach and free time, as will have to remove a considerable amount of detail. However, when lack of time and funds are available, you can use the services. There replacement pistons (Priora) will be performed on a professional level, but money will be needed in the area of 7-10 thousand rubles. It all depends on the complexity of the repair.

Replacement pistons is better done on a lift, or well-equipped the pit. Pre-need to drain the tank of antifreeze and oil. The further procedure looks like this:

  1. Engine need a good clean of dirt.
  2. Using key 13, Unscrew the bolts securing the engine mount bracket on the right side.
  3. In the next step you want to Unscrew the fastening of the generator with a key of 15. To remove the vacated front engine mounting bracket.
  4. Detaches the tubing, removed the cylinder head with flywheel and oil filter.
  5. Removed the tube connecting the pump to the block.
  6. The next step is to remove the oil pan, oil pump and musopriani.
  7. Key 10 end bracket rear crankshaft seal. It is easily removed – enough to pry it with a screwdriver.
  8. Next Unscrew all fasteners in the connecting rods, after which they are removed together with the pistons.
  9. Removed pistons With rings, thus it is necessary to pay attention to their condition and replace if necessary.
  10. Using the mandrel to 16-18 mm remove the pin, then the piston is easily removed from the connecting rod.

If a domestic car has come a long distance required an additional procedure, which requires the caliper.

Final process

This tool need to measure the inner surface of each cylinder in the following points (from the top):

  • 3 mm;
  • 10 mm;
  • 60 mm;
  • 112 mm

On the degree of wear should be judged by the difference of these measurements. If it is equal to approximately 0.05 mm, it is still a valid value. If the difference is 0.15 mm or more – requires boring of the cylinders.

How much is Priora

At the final stage is to install new pistons and assemble all parts in reverse order.

In conclusion

After the standard pistons will be replaced with improved analog, you should fill it with new oil. After this 10 minute run the engine at idle. First time to travel by car will have with great care. This means that first time (the first 2000 km of run), you need to go faster than 90 km/h and keeping the revs in the 3500, not more.

With these tips the price of the piston to the "a Priori" in the end won't seem so high. At least you don't have to worry about belt breakage. But it's worth periodically checking his condition.
