What is the adjustment method for the valves of a four-cylinder engine?

The adjustment method for the valves of a four-cylinder engine is: 1. Divide the number of cylinders into two equal parts, using the center as the axis of symmetry; 2. Two people cooperate, with one person rotating the crankshaft; 3. Adjust the valve clearance of a cylinder on the right side of the axis of symmetry, paying attention to the intake valve of the corresponding cylinder on the left side of the axis of symmetry; 4. When the valve moves slightly, adjust the valve clearance of this cylinder on the right side. The valve is composed of a valve head and a stem, and its function is to input air into the engine and discharge the exhaust gases after combustion. The effects of excessive valve clearance are: 1. It reduces the opening degree of the intake valve and shortens the opening time, leading to insufficient air intake and a decrease in engine power; 2. It causes poor exhaust, resulting in an increase in exhaust gases in the combustion chamber.

Does exceeding the upper limit of the engine oil dipstick have any impact?

Exceeding the upper limit of the engine oil dipstick does have an impact, and the effects include: 1. Hindering the operation of the crankshaft; 2. Increasing engine pressure, which affects the engine's power output. The functions of engine oil are: assisting in engine lubrication and reducing friction, cooling and temperature reduction, sealing and leak prevention, rust and corrosion prevention, and shock absorption. The method for changing engine oil is: 1. Run the engine to bring it to operating temperature; 2. Engage the handbrake and lift the vehicle; 3. Unscrew the filter and drain the oil; 4. Apply new oil to the gasket of the new filter; 5. Pour the new oil into the oil pan; 6. Check for leaks under the engine; 7. Lower the vehicle, check the oil dipstick, and start the engine; 8. Turn off the engine and repeat the oil level check.

Can You Press the Clutch to Shift While Stepping on the Accelerator?

You can press the clutch to shift while stepping on the accelerator. Specific details are as follows: 1. Hazards: Shifting without fully depressing the clutch can easily damage the clutch. The key to starting a manual transmission car lies in the coordination between the accelerator and the clutch. 2. Additional Information: The clutch refers to the separation device between the car engine and the transmission, also known as the clutch. In automatic transmission cars, the clutch is integrated into the transmission to achieve automatic shifting. The reason for separating the power from the wheels is that the engine needs to change speeds at different vehicle speeds. The driving and driven parts of the clutch rely on friction between contact surfaces, or use liquid as a transmission medium (hydraulic coupling), or magnetic transmission (electromagnetic clutch) to transmit torque, allowing temporary separation and gradual engagement, while permitting relative rotation between the two parts during transmission.

What tire model is used for the Dongfeng Peugeot 408?

Dongfeng Peugeot 408 uses the tire model 215/50R17, and it is equipped with Goodyear tires. The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company was founded in 1898 and has a history of over a century. Goodyear is the world's largest tire manufacturing company, headquartered in Akron, Ohio, USA. The company primarily produces tires, engineered rubber products, and chemical products in more than 90 factories across 28 countries. Today, Goodyear employs over 80,000 people worldwide. For the tires of the Dongfeng Peugeot 408 in daily use, the following points should be noted: Regularly inspect the tire surface for cracks, deformations, or other defects. Due to driving wear, the tread grooves of the tires gradually become shallower. If the tread wears flat, it will lose its drainage and anti-skid functions, significantly reducing the car's performance. Small cracks may seem minor but can pose a risk of tire blowouts at high speeds. Additionally, promptly remove small stones lodged in the grooves. Try to park on flat ground. Avoid parking on roads with thick, sharp, or pointed stones. Do not park the car near or in contact with petroleum products, acids, or other materials that may deteriorate rubber. After parking, the driver should not turn the steering wheel, as this action accelerates tire wear. Do not splash water to cool down. In hot weather or during high-speed driving, tires are prone to overheating, and tire pressure may increase. In such cases, park to allow the tires to cool naturally. Never release air to reduce pressure or splash water to cool the tires, as this may cause abnormal aging of the tread rubber. Avoid sudden braking. Try to minimize frequent or emergency braking to prevent accelerated tread wear caused by dragging between the tires and the road.
