Pre-treatment: First, wet the sandpaper with water, then use the sandpaper to sand down dents and scratches, and finally wash away oil stains and dirt, allowing it to dry. Filling: You can use a small hard card or a small spatula to apply the putty, ensuring it is slightly higher than the surrounding area. After about an hour, use 400~1000 grit sandpaper with water to sand it smooth, completing the fine sanding. Then, use 2000 grit sandpaper dipped in water to sand the repaired area. The topcoat is now complete. Ensure the work area is well-ventilated. If the putty is applied too thickly, the interior will not dry. Therefore, control the coating thickness to within 1mm.

Do Three-Prong Spark Plugs Offer More Power?

No, compared to single-prong spark plugs, three-prong spark plugs actually have slightly weaker power performance. The advantage of three-prong spark plugs is that they feature three side electrodes, providing slightly better ignition performance than single-prong spark plugs. The spark gap of a three-prong spark plug is formed by the cross-sections of the three side electrodes and the cylindrical surface of the center electrode. This side-positioned spark gap increases spark accessibility, delivers greater spark energy, and makes it easier for the spark to enter the cylinder, effectively improving the combustion of the air-fuel mixture and reducing exhaust emissions. How Spark Plugs Work: The ground electrode of a spark plug is connected to the metal shell, which is threaded into the engine block via the cylinder head. The insulator primarily serves to isolate the metal shell from the central electrode. The terminal nut is the part of the spark plug that contacts the high-voltage coil. When current passes through the terminal nut and the central electrode, it ionizes the medium between the central electrode and the ground electrode, generating a spark that ignites the air-fuel mixture in the cylinder.

Where is the oil leaking from the rear wheel?

There are two possible scenarios for oil leakage from a car's rear wheel: 1. Damaged rear wheel bearing leaking grease: Check if the rear wheel oil seal is intact. If the oil seal isn't properly installed, reinstall it or replace it with a new one. If the seal is intact, then the leak isn't from the oil seal. 2. Shock absorber oil: Inspect the rear shock absorber. If there's significant oil staining on the shock absorber, it indicates leakage. It's advisable to replace the shock absorber with a new one. Generally, there are five types of oil traces inside a car: 1. Gasoline: Colorless, volatile liquid with a pungent odor. 2. Engine oil: Bronze-colored with high viscosity. 3. Gear oil: Golden yellow with relatively low viscosity. 4. Brake fluid: Light yellow with the lowest viscosity, easily evaporates. 5. Power steering fluid: Red with extremely low viscosity, smells similar to household sewing machine oil.

Why is it not recommended to buy a three-cylinder car?

Reasons why three-cylinder cars are not recommended: The three-cylinder engine has one less stroke than a four-cylinder engine, which makes it prone to vibration during operation and produces louder noise. Additionally, to achieve power output smoothness close to that of a four-cylinder engine, the three-cylinder engine needs to be matched with a large-mass flywheel. This increases the engine's rotational inertia, making the RPM response sluggish and resulting in less responsive throttle feedback. A three-cylinder car refers to a vehicle equipped with a three-cylinder engine, which consists of three cylinders arranged on a single block sharing one crankshaft for power output, with a displacement below 1 liter. A four-cylinder car refers to a vehicle equipped with a four-cylinder engine, whose main components include the cylinder block, crankcase, cylinder head, and cylinder gasket.

Are Car Shock Absorber Buffer Pads Useful?

Car shock absorber buffer pads are useful, and their main functions are: 1. Improve driving stability, enhance driving comfort, and enjoy the pleasure of driving; 2. Reduce body vibration and absorb noise from the suspension system; 3. Solve the problem of spring fatigue; 4. Buffer and absorb instantaneous pressure caused by rough roads to avoid damage to the shock absorption system. The installation method of car shock absorber buffer pads is: 1. Use a jack to lift the body at the installation location; 2. Spray soapy water to clean the shock-absorbing spring, and also spray some soapy water on the buffer pad for lubrication; 3. Install the buffer pad in the middle of the spring.
