It is necessary to repair small dents caused by hail on the car. Body dent and paint repair: If there are dents and paint peeling on the car body, it is recommended to perform sheet metal and paint work. However, if there is no paint peeling and you are particularly concerned about preserving the original paint, you can try paintless dent repair technology. This method does not damage the original car paint and repairs the body dents based on optical and mechanical principles, using leverage to gradually restore dents of varying depths to their original condition. Polishing technique: If there are minor dents that do not expose the metal, polishing can solve the problem. Polishing is a light process that slightly removes a layer of paint to smooth out uneven surfaces. If you have car insurance, it is recommended to opt for a full-body paint repair. Without insurance, it is advisable to only repair the damaged parts.

What is used to seal between the cylinder head cover and the cylinder head?

Between the cylinder head cover and the cylinder head, a sealing gasket is used. Below are the reasons that affect the sealing performance of the engine cylinder head: Incorrect use and installation of the cylinder head gasket: The cylinder head gasket is installed between the engine cylinder block and the cylinder head, and its function is to ensure the sealing of the combustion chamber, preventing leakage of gas, coolant, and lubricating oil. Therefore, if the use and installation of the cylinder head gasket do not meet the requirements, it will directly affect the sealing reliability of the cylinder head and the service life of the cylinder head gasket. To ensure sealing quality, the selected cylinder head gasket must have the same specifications and thickness as those originally equipped with the cylinder, with a flat surface, firmly adhered edges, and no scratches, dents, wrinkles, or rust stains. Otherwise, it will affect the sealing quality of the cylinder head. Slight movement of the cylinder head: The slight movement of the cylinder head is the result of the cylinder head attempting to separate from the cylinder block under the action of compression and combustion pressures. These pressures stretch the cylinder head connecting bolts, causing the cylinder head to have a slight movement relative to the cylinder block. This slight movement will cause the cylinder head gasket to undergo a process of loosening and tightening, thereby accelerating the damage of the cylinder head gasket and affecting its sealing performance.
