We have data collected on-board Volvo trucks in USA. The goal of the project is to analyse this data and find deviations in engine performance between healthy and faulty vehicles.

Two cylinder heads have been replaced on that test fleet. Cylinder head replacement is usually due to cracks or valve assembly breakage.

But performance drift occurs prior to that, due to metal to metal contact between valves/ports, such that tolerances increase. Similarly, quality of replacement is mostly about how accurately the installer adjusted the valves.

The goal of the thesis is to find a way to detect problems related to cylinder heads before they cause unplanned vehicle breakdown.
