Replacing the steering gear is not considered a major overhaul. A major overhaul refers to the repair of the three major components of a car: the engine, chassis, and transmission. If the steering gear is damaged, it can cause the car to have difficulty steering. Below is an introduction to the steering wheel: 1. Introduction: The steering wheel is a wheel-shaped device used to control the direction of cars, ships, airplanes, etc. The function of the steering wheel is to convert the force applied by the driver to the edge of the steering wheel into torque, which is then transmitted to the steering shaft. 2. Structure: It mainly consists of the frame, foam, and the corresponding installation clips or screw holes for the driver's airbag (DAB). 3. Origin: More than 120 years ago, the steering wheel initially installed on steam cars by the inventor of the automobile was mounted on a vertical steering column. Its drawbacks were that it was not conducive to the driver's control and obstructed the view.

What is the valve clearance for a single-cylinder diesel engine?

The intake valve clearance for the vertical 195-type diesel engine is 0.18~0.25mm, and the exhaust valve clearance is 0.20~0.27mm. However, some diesel engines use materials with lower expansion coefficients for the exhaust valves or implement enhanced heat dissipation measures for the exhaust valves, resulting in equal clearance for both intake and exhaust valves. For example, in the 195-type diesel engine, both intake and exhaust valve clearances are 0.4mm. Additional information: The function of valve clearance is to ensure tight closure of the intake and exhaust valves and to accommodate thermal expansion of the valves and their transmission components. During diesel engine operation, the intake valves are cooled by fresh air, maintaining temperatures between 300~400°C, while the exhaust valves are exposed to high-temperature exhaust gases, reaching temperatures between 600~800°C. Consequently, exhaust valves experience higher temperatures and greater thermal expansion compared to intake valves.

Differences Between OEM and Aftermarket Ignition Coils?

Differences between OEM and aftermarket ignition coils are as follows: 1. Appearance: OEM coils have original labels and QR codes. Aftermarket coils are produced by other manufacturers. 2. Precision: OEM coils have finer workmanship than aftermarket ones. 3. Durability: OEM coils pay more attention to material selection and precision, making them more durable. 4. Compatibility: OEM coils match the vehicle perfectly, while aftermarket ones do not. Additional information: Disadvantages of not using OEM parts: 1. Less dense filter paper leads to poor filtration, potentially causing irreversible damage to the engine. 2. Inhaling dust and other impurities accelerates carbon buildup and piston wear. 3. Using unqualified filters affects engine air intake, impacting performance, accelerating oil consumption, causing abnormal wear of pistons and cylinders, and leading to excessive carbon buildup. 4. Genuine parts have a longer lifespan, while counterfeit products require more frequent replacement.

How many points are deducted for reversing on a one-way road?

Reversing on a one-way road will result in a deduction of three points and a fine. One-way road reversing refers to the act of making a U-turn on a road designated for one direction and driving in the opposite direction of the specified road. This behavior is prone to causing traffic accidents and is strictly prohibited by law. Several situations of driving in the opposite direction: 1. Solid road dividing lines: On roads with solid dividing lines, motor vehicles entering the opposite lane. Among them, roads with double solid lines or single solid lines are not allowed to cross the lines under any circumstances. 2. Dotted road dividing lines: On roads with dotted dividing lines, overtaking can be done by borrowing the opposite lane under safe conditions, but once an accident occurs, the vehicle borrowing the lane will be considered as driving in the opposite direction. 3. One-way road signs: On roads with one-way road signs, any motor vehicle entering will be considered as driving in the opposite direction.

How many people can be registered for one car?

In principle, it's one person per car, but most regions currently have no restrictions on the number of vehicles that can be registered under one person's name. Additional information: 1. A single person can bind a maximum of 3 vehicles simultaneously; 2. One vehicle can be bound to a maximum of 3 driver's licenses at the same time; 3. A person cannot bind more than 5 vehicles in total historically. One vehicle license can only use up to three driver's licenses for point deductions. Traffic regulations stipulate that one driver's license can only deduct points for three vehicles within one settlement period (one year); similarly, one vehicle can only use three different driver's licenses for point deductions, and the license holder must personally present the driver's license for the point deduction. There are two channels for real-name binding: 1. Processing at the traffic police penalty window. 2. Using the Traffic Management 12123 mobile app.
