Clean the valve cover with a cleaning agent, clean the contact surface between the valve cover and the cylinder head, install the valve cover gasket, apply sealant, and tighten the screws diagonally from the middle to both sides. 3. Use genuine paper gasket accessories, wipe the two joint surfaces of the engine and the valve cover clean, evenly apply butter on both sides of the paper gasket, align and place it on the positioning posts, cover the valve cover, and evenly tighten the valve cover.

How to Ventilate When the Car Feels Stuffy?

When using the air conditioning, avoid turning on the recirculation mode. This setting draws air from inside the car, limiting air circulation to the interior only, which can lead to stagnant and stuffy air. If driving on the highway for an extended period, open the front and rear diagonal windows every half hour to allow for ventilation. Be sure to open the window gaps slightly. For significant air exchange, set the vehicle's air intake to external circulation. This way, even without turning on the air conditioning, outside air will automatically enter the car due to the pressure from the vehicle's forward motion.

What to Do When Overtaking in the Leftmost Lane During Subject 3 Driving Test?

Accelerate and merge into the adjacent lane, then accelerate straight to overtake the target vehicle until a safe distance is achieved before merging back into the original lane. When you notice that the vehicle ahead is significantly impeding the flow of traffic in the lane due to its own reasons, and there is a safe adjacent lane available for passing, overtaking can be considered. First, observe the condition of the lane you intend to merge into, as well as the driving situation of the vehicles ahead of the car you plan to overtake. Additionally, check the vehicle ahead before initiating the overtaking maneuver. To achieve maximum acceleration in the shortest time possible, for automatic transmission vehicles, press the accelerator pedal all the way down to force the transmission to downshift continuously, thereby obtaining greater torque.

Is it necessary to install an in-car air purifier?

In-car air purifiers are effective and serve the following purposes: 1. Effectively settle various inhalable suspended particles in the air, preventing harmful floating dust particles from being inhaled; 2. Kill and destroy bacteria, viruses, mold, and fungi, removing sources of disease in the air such as dead skin flakes and pollen, thereby reducing the spread of diseases; 3. Eliminate unpleasant odors in the air and continuously replace indoor air to ensure healthy circulation; 4. Neutralize harmful gases released in the air, reducing physical discomfort caused by inhaling these gases. Types of in-car air purifiers include: 1. Filter type; 2. Electrostatic dust collection type; 3. Ozone type; 4. Plasma cluster type.

Why can't the car air conditioner switch the airflow direction?

The reasons why a car air conditioner cannot switch airflow direction are as follows: Insufficient refrigerant: There is usually minor leakage in the air conditioning pipelines or condenser, causing refrigerant insufficiency after some time, requiring manual replenishment. Expansion valve or evaporator coil blockage: This leads to abnormal internal pressure, necessitating repair at a service center. Dirty condenser: The main purpose of the condenser is heat dissipation. In spring, it easily accumulates substances like willow catkins, leading to poor cooling performance. Air conditioning system pipeline leakage: This causes abnormal refrigerant evaporation or water ingress into the pipelines, resulting in poor refrigerant circulation, increased resistance, and ultimately the air conditioner's inability to cool.
