- Technician A inspects all sealing surfaces for damage and uses a supplementary sealant on the gaskets if the surface is questionable. Technician B coats the intake gasket on some engines with a nonhardening sealer. Who is correct? Technician A Technician B Both A and B Neither A nor Barrow_forwardWhile discussing the reasons for resurfacing a cylinder head; Technician A says it should be resurfaced to make it flat and very smooth so the head gasket can seal properly during engine assembly. Technician B says that it can be resurfaced to raise the compression. Who is correct? Technician A Technician B Both A and B Neither A nor Barrow_forwardTechnician A says that oil pan gaskets are often made of cork due to its ability to conform to small imperfections in the oil pan.

It allows for lateral and vertical head movement as the engine heats and cools. It meters lubricating oil onto the engines cylinder walls.arrow_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.
