Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A manufacturing method for an engine includes: preparing, as a preparing step, a cylinder head having a surface on which a ceiling surface of a combustion chamber is formed; forming, as a film formation step, a thermal insulation film on the ceiling surface; measuring, as a measurement step, a volume of the thermal insulation film; and selecting, as a selection step, a rank for an engine valve to be used in combination with the ceiling surface so as to correspond to an amount of difference of a measured volume of the thermal insulation film from a designed value of a volume of the thermal insulation film, the rank being selected from a plurality of ranks set in correspondence with thicknesses of umbrella portions of engine valves.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A manufacturing method for an engine, comprising: preparing, as a preparing step, a cylinder head having a surface on which a ceiling surface of a combustion chamber is formed; forming, as a film formation step, a thermal insulation film on the ceiling surface; measuring, as a measurement step, a volume of the thermal insulation film; and selecting, as a selection step, a rank for an engine valve to be used in combination with the ceiling surface so as to correspond to an amount of difference of a measured volume of the thermal insulation film from a designed value of a volume of the thermal insulation film, the rank being selected from a plurality of ranks set in correspondence with thicknesses of umbrella portions of engine valves, wherein the rank for the engine valve to be selected in the selection step is a rank having a thickness of an umbrella portion, the thickness minimizing an amount of difference of a capacity of the combustion chamber from a designed value of the capacity of the combustion chamber in a case where the umbrella portion of the engine valve is seated on a valve sitting face, the amount of difference being caused due to the amount of difference of the measured volume of the thermal insulation film from the designed value. 2. The manufacturing method according to claim 1 , further comprising: recording information on the rank selected in the selection step on the surface of the cylinder head. 3. The manufacturing method according to claim 1 , wherein the thermal insulation film formed in the film formation step is a thermal insulation film having a porous structure. 4. The manufacturing method according to claim 1 , wherein: the forming of the thermal insulation film and the selecting of a rank for an engine valve includes: selecting a rank for an engine valve having a relatively greater thickness of an umbrella portion after forming the thermal insulation film having a relatively smaller thickness; and selecting a rank for an engine valve having a relatively smaller thickness of an umbrella portion after forming the thermal insulation film having a relatively greater thickness.
