Single-cylinder diesel engine valve adjustment method: Open the valve cover, loosen the adjusting nut on the rocker arm, turn the adjusting screw, and use your thumb and index finger to pinch and rotate the valve pushrod. When the resistance decreases, tighten the fixing nut to complete the adjustment. The resistance should not be too large or too small. The other valve is adjusted in the same way. Working principle of a single-cylinder diesel engine: Single-cylinder diesel engines include two-stroke and four-stroke types, with basically the same structure. The main difference lies in the valve timing mechanism. Each working cycle of a single-cylinder diesel engine goes through four processes: intake, compression, power, and exhaust. In one working cycle, only one stroke is the power stroke, while the other three strokes are auxiliary strokes that create conditions for the power stroke.

How can beginners judge the width of the car when parking?

Methods for beginners to judge the width of the car when parking: You can use some reference points, such as the raised points on the car's wipers and the lines on the road. When the raised point of the left wiper coincides with the line on the road, the left tire will press on the line on the ground. Similarly, when the raised point of the right wiper coincides with the line on the ground, the right tire will press on the line on the ground. Driving safety comes first, and you should not have a 'give it a try' mentality. If driving in poor road conditions, be sure to get out of the car and check to ensure safety before proceeding. Try to keep the left side of the car close to obstacles, as it is very easy to observe the position of the left side of the car.

Where is the best place to park a car to avoid flooding?

Parking your car near drainage outlets or on higher ground can help prevent flooding. Below are the insurance compensation scenarios for water-damaged vehicles under different circumstances: 1. Car flooded while parked: If the vehicle is flooded while parked and had previously purchased auto damage insurance, the insurance company will cover the damages. If the car is damaged by falling objects or power poles during heavy rain, or sustains damage while floating, these are all covered under auto damage insurance. 2. Car flooded while driving with a secondary start: If the vehicle stalls due to flooding while driving through water and the driver attempts a secondary start, regardless of whether the old version of water-related damage insurance (prior to the insurance reform on September 19, 2020) or the new version of auto damage insurance was purchased, the insurance company has the right to refuse compensation for engine damage caused by this action.
