Brake disc rust is not a serious issue and is a normal phenomenon. The rust on brake discs is mainly caused by the vehicle being parked for extended periods, excessively humid air, or rain and snow. When parking the vehicle, it is advisable to choose a covered or relatively dry location to some extent avoid rust. Simply put, a brake disc is a round disc that rotates as the vehicle moves. The brake caliper clamps the brake disc to generate braking force, slowing down or stopping the vehicle when the brakes are applied. The method for replacing a brake disc is as follows: 1. Open the engine compartment and check the brake fluid level to prevent overflow during replacement; 2. Remove the wheel where the brake is located and the bolts of the brake caliper; 3. Take off the old brake disc, install the new one, tighten the guide bolts, and complete the replacement.

What is the troubleshooting method for valve ablation and air leakage?

Valve ablation and air leakage troubleshooting methods are as follows: 1. Inspection: Check the sealing between the valve and the valve seat ring. Introduce 490~588 kPa compressed air into the cylinder and listen at the intake manifold and exhaust manifold respectively. Determine whether the air leakage is from the intake valve or the exhaust valve based on the sound of the leakage. 2. Characteristics of ablation: After valve ablation, the engine shows weak operation, black smoke from the exhaust pipe, and poor sound when firing. If the exhaust valve is ablated, the exhaust pipe will overheat or even turn red. 3. Determining valve ablation fault: The valve spring should be disassembled and inspected for obvious deformation and whether its stiffness meets the standard; check the valve and seat for ablation, grooves, pits, and pitting. Repair as much as possible according to the repair specifications, and replace with new parts if necessary.

How Long Does It Take for the Engine to Cool Down After Shutting Off?

Engine cooling takes about half an hour after shutting off. Engine cooling refers to the heat dissipation and insulation measures taken for components operating in high-temperature environments during engine operation, ensuring that the temperature of heated parts does not exceed the allowable range of material strength. Engine cooling methods include: 1. Film cooling, where liquid propellant or gas forms a film on the heated wall to prevent heat transfer from the gas to the wall, known as liquid film cooling or gas film cooling; 2. Sweat cooling, also known as transpiration cooling. The heated part is made of porous material, and the coolant seeps through the micropores to the heated surface, carrying away heat while forming a cooling film on the wall, providing excellent cooling effects; 3. Thermal insulation layer, where low thermal conductivity high-temperature resistant materials are applied or adhered to the heated wall to reduce heat transfer from the gas to the wall.
