Is There a Safety Hazard If a Screw Falls Into the Engine Compartment?

[JosiahLynn]

It is recommended to remove the screw from the engine compartment as soon as possible if it falls in, to avoid damage to the engine piston or connecting rod after starting. Below is relevant information about the engine compartment: 1. Overview: The engine compartment generally includes the engine, air filter, battery, engine exhaust system, throttle valve, coolant reservoir, relay box, brake booster, throttle cable, windshield washer fluid reservoir, brake fluid reservoir, fuses, etc. 2. Components: Air Filter: The full name is air cleaner. A car cannot operate without the engine working, and the engine relies on the energy generated by fuel combustion, which requires very clean air for combustion. The air filter is the main component that provides clean air to the engine. The lifespan of the air filter is related to usage frequency and environment. Generally, for ordinary household cars, the air filter element should be replaced during each maintenance service.
