The longer valve spring is for the exhaust, while the shorter one is for the intake. Here are the specific details about valve springs: 1. Function: The valve spring ensures the correct reset of the valve, overcoming the gap generated by the inertia force of the valve and transmission parts during the closing process, ensuring timely seating and tight contact of the valve, and preventing the valve from breaking the seal due to jumping during engine vibration. 2. Installation position: When installed, one end of the valve spring is supported on the cylinder head, and the other end is pressed against the spring seat at the tail end of the valve stem, fixed at the end of the valve stem with a lock ring or lock pin. 3. Material: To ensure sufficient stiffness and installation preload, valve springs are mostly made of high-carbon manganese steel, chromium-vanadium steel wire, or silicon-chromium steel wire. Valve springs are generally made into cylindrical springs with equal pitch. When an engine is equipped with a single valve spring, springs with unequal pitch are used to prevent resonance.

How often should the spark plugs of Nissan Tiida be replaced?

Nissan Tiida spark plugs should be replaced every 100,000 kilometers. However, the replacement interval can be adjusted flexibly based on different driving habits and road conditions. For those who frequently drive in congested urban traffic, replacement can be considered at 50,000 to 60,000 kilometers. For those who often drive on highways or in suburban areas, it is recommended to replace them at 80,000 to 100,000 kilometers. Spark plugs are a crucial component of a gasoline engine's ignition system, responsible for introducing high voltage electricity into the combustion chamber and generating sparks by jumping the electrode gap, thereby igniting the combustible mixture in the cylinder. The Nissan Tiida is a vehicle produced by Dongfeng Nissan Passenger Vehicle Company, with body dimensions of 4250mm in length, 1695mm in width, and 1535mm in height. In terms of exterior design, the car features more curved lines, giving it a rounder and more stylish appearance. The triangular headlights and front grille lend the Tiida a somewhat aggressive front face, while the wavy waistline on the side adds tension and dynamism.

Should You Shift Gear or Release the Handbrake First in a Manual Car?

In a manual transmission car, you should shift into gear first and then release the handbrake. Here are some related tips for starting the car: 1. Precautions for starting: Get in the car, fasten your seatbelt, and adjust the seat. Quickly press the clutch pedal all the way down and shift into first gear. Turn on the left turn signal, check the surroundings (both side mirrors), and release the handbrake. Quickly lift the clutch pedal to the semi-engaged position and pause slightly, then slowly release the clutch while gently pressing the accelerator pedal to ensure a smooth start. 2. Driving precautions: Avoid keeping the clutch in the semi-engaged state for extended periods. Some drivers have the habit of keeping their left foot on the clutch pedal while driving, thinking it provides better control over the vehicle. However, this practice can cause significant damage to the clutch plate. Especially when driving at high speeds, prolonged semi-engagement can lead to rapid wear of the clutch plate.

Will driving a sedan continuously for 2000 kilometers damage the car?

A sedan driving continuously for 2000 kilometers under normal conditions will not damage the car. Here is relevant information about prolonged driving of sedans: 1. Reasons why it won't damage the car: After continuous driving for about half an hour, the car's engine and transmission can be considered to have just begun to enter their working state. Once the vehicle enters this state, as long as there are no issues, it will basically maintain this condition during subsequent driving. This means that continuing to drive under these conditions will not result in any worse situations than during normal driving. 2. Engine condition during prolonged driving: The working condition of the engine is entirely determined by combustion efficiency and the temperature of the coolant. If the vehicle is driven for a long time, the engine coolant, under the control of the large and small circulation systems, will keep the engine temperature within the range of 90±5℃. This temperature range is optimal for engine efficiency.

Is Driving 1,500 Kilometers Continuously Harmful to the Car?

Generally, driving 1,500 kilometers continuously is not a problem for most cars. However, for safety reasons, the driver should take breaks and refuel at least once. Below are some precautions for driving on highways: Mindset: Mindset is crucial. Many first-time highway drivers may feel nervous or panicked, but as long as you drive legally and normally, there should be no issues. Preparation: Check the tires for cracks or bulges and ensure all lights are functioning properly. Plan your route in advance and make sure you have enough fuel. It's advisable to use a navigation system to avoid missing highway exits. According to traffic regulations, severe violations such as reversing, driving in the wrong direction, or making illegal U-turns on highways can result in a 200-yuan fine and a 12-point deduction from your license.

How to Understand Traffic Light Signals While Driving?

Here are the methods to interpret different traffic light signals: 1. Red Light: Generally, traffic lights are divided into two types: full-screen lights and arrow indicator lights. Arrow lights clearly indicate the direction, so you must drive according to the regulations. When it is a full-screen red light, if there is no sign prohibiting a right turn, you can turn right after confirming safety. However, you must yield to straight-going vehicles and pedestrians on the crosswalk when turning right; otherwise, you will be fined 200 yuan and deducted 2 points. 2. Green Light: You can proceed when either the full-screen light or the arrow light turns green, but you need to pay attention to the direction of the current lane to avoid going the wrong way. Otherwise, driving in the wrong lane will result in a fine of 200 yuan and a deduction of 2 points. When the green light is flashing and about to turn off, you must slow down and stop; otherwise, you may run a yellow or red light. 3. Yellow Light: Vehicles that have already crossed the stop line when the yellow light turns on can continue driving, while those that have not crossed the stop line must stop. The yellow light mainly serves as a warning.

Which side should you overtake from when driving a motor vehicle?

Overtaking must be done from the left side. Below are relevant introductions about overtaking: 1. Basic actions of overtaking: The technique of overtaking can be summarized as: accelerate and merge into the adjacent lane, accelerate straight to pass the vehicle being overtaken until a safe distance is reached, then merge back into the original lane. The purpose of overtaking is to achieve quick passage. 2. Taboos of overtaking: It is best not to overtake in congested road conditions because the slow speed is not conducive to completing the merging and accelerating actions, and even if overtaking is completed, the purpose of quick passage will not be achieved. For two-way roads with two lanes, it is best not to overtake when going uphill, especially when approaching the top of the slope. Due to the obstruction of the slope top, oncoming traffic cannot be seen, creating a visual blind spot, so overtaking should not be attempted. Similarly, on such roads, if encountering a large curve that blocks the line of sight, do not overtake before entering the curve. Wait until after passing the curve when the view is clear, and at least the oncoming traffic can be seen before attempting to overtake.
