Diesel/Gasoline Engine Conversion

Converting engines from diesel to CNG requires some good amount of expertise and may involve significant downtime. Suggested engine modifications to assure engine reliability, optimized power, fuel consumption and emissions may include optimizing compression ratio, valve lift, valve timing, exhaust system and intake manifold. Special attention goes to engine cooling, engine lubrication and the potential issue of excessive oil consumption. A properly modified engine can make the same power as the base engine. Diesel Engine Conversions May need to improve cooling system efficiency May need engine oil cooler May need new valve seats, guides and seals May need new pistons and rings Engine compression must be lowered May need a new camshaft Ignition system must be installed Cylinder head modifications are needed to install spark plugs Custom cam or crankshaft position sensors must be made Gasoline Engine Conversions May need to improve cooling system efficiency May need engine oil cooler May need new valve seats For higher efficiency, engine compression can be increased
