The engine life can be defined as the time period cum kilometers ran by the engine before the power loss becomes too high. The engine goes through a lot of stresses during its operation; let us call this abuse as it is inducing wear and tear constantly. Let us take Conrods for example. These are an essential component of any engine. They transfer the energy created during combustion to the camshaft which in turn rotates the wheels eventually. Conrods connected to the Camshaft Onl
