Cylinder sticking phenomenon refers to the block-like adhesion between the piston and the cylinder surface. Simply put, it is cylinder scoring. The main causes of cylinder scoring, besides insufficient engine lubrication oil, are poor engine cooling leading to overheating, which causes the lubricating oil to lose its lubrication function. Below is an introduction to the engine assembly: 1. Introduction: The engine assembly, also known as the engine, is a machine capable of converting one form of energy into another more useful form of energy. 2. Principle: It usually converts chemical energy into mechanical energy (the conversion of electrical energy into mechanical energy is referred to as an electric motor). Sometimes, it is applicable to both power generation devices and the entire machine including the power device, such as gasoline engines and aircraft engines. 3. Development: Looking back at the history of engine creation and development, it has gone through two stages: external combustion engines and internal combustion engines.

Last time my car had a problem, it was engine seizure. The sound was terrifying! While driving, you could hear a very obvious metallic grinding noise, extremely harsh, like something was scraping against metal. Pressing the accelerator, you could clearly feel the lack of power, the car felt sluggish, and acceleration was particularly slow. At that time, the dashboard's temperature gauge shot straight to the top, with a red warning light flashing, which scared me into pulling over immediately. After stopping, the engine hood was frighteningly hot, and there was a nasty burnt smell coming out. In severe cases, you could even feel the engine shaking on its own, the tachometer needle was unstable, fluctuating up and down, and finally, it just stalled and wouldn't start again. If you encounter this situation, don't force it to drive. Stop immediately, call a tow truck, and get it repaired—that's the right thing to do.

One of the most serious problems we often encounter in car repairs is engine seizure. When driving, you'll notice a sudden significant drop in power, and the engine feels unusually heavy. The throttle response becomes very poor, and it feels extremely laborious. At this point, you should pay attention to the sounds—there's likely a continuous metallic tapping or sharp grinding noise coming from the engine bay. The most obvious sign is the temperature gauge; it will definitely show abnormally high readings, and the temperature warning light on the dashboard will illuminate. Many drivers also notice a burning smell at this stage. If you're unlucky enough to keep driving, the engine may soon completely fail, stop running, or even be permanently damaged. Once the temperature gauge hits the red zone or the warning light comes on, don't hesitate—immediately turn off the engine and stop the car.

Engine seizure is no trivial matter. The most immediate symptom I notice is a sudden and abnormal loss of power - the accelerator feels mushy, and it's difficult to rev up the engine. The most critical diagnostic clue comes from the sound: the engine produces very distinct, frightening metallic knocking or grinding noises, like a clattering sound. This condition is invariably accompanied by overheating, indicated by the temperature warning light on the dashboard. Sometimes, you might even see faint blue smoke or detect a pungent burning smell. If ignored and driven further, the engine temperature keeps rising until it finally locks up and stalls, leaving the vehicle stranded with no possibility of restarting. Continuing to drive in this state isn't just damaging to the vehicle - it's downright dangerous.

Which Rearview Mirror to Look at When Reversing into a Parking Space?

Whether reversing to the right or left (reverse parking or forward parking), you can look at the left rearview mirror. Here are the specific instructions for reversing into a parking space: 1. Reverse Parking. When the vehicle is slowly starting to move backward from the stop line in a half-clutch state, observe the front window decal on the right rear triangular window pillar. When the decal touches the right boundary line of the parking space (you can adjust slightly in advance), immediately turn the steering wheel fully to the right at a steady speed. Then, shift your gaze to the left rearview mirror, paying attention to the distance between the car body and the left front corner of the parking space (if the distance is less than 20-30 cm, adjust the steering wheel slightly). When the left boundary line of the parking space is fully visible, immediately straighten the steering wheel. Stop the car when the front boundary line of the parking space aligns with the lower edge of the left rearview mirror. 2. Forward Parking. When the vehicle is slowly exiting the parking space in a half-clutch state, align the driver's body with the front boundary line of the parking space, then turn the steering wheel to the left (approximately one and a quarter turns, with the steering wheel at the one o'clock position). Continue moving forward until the car stops at the left parking line of the parking space, ensuring the car body is straight without adjusting the steering wheel. Reverse along the same path, observing the relationship between the car body and the left front corner of the parking space (if the distance is less than 20-30 cm, adjust the steering wheel slightly). When the left boundary line of the parking space is fully visible, immediately straighten the steering wheel. Stop the car when the front boundary line of the parking space aligns with the lower edge of the left rearview mirror.

Can Strong Winds Blow a Car Away?

Whether strong winds can blow a car away depends on the car's weight, shape, and wind-exposed area. Below are detailed explanations regarding why strong winds can blow a car away: 1. Generally, a stationary car may be moved by a typhoon of level 10 or above, but this is usually due to indirect damage caused by other objects being destroyed by the typhoon. It is best to park the car in an underground garage or an open area with a clear view. Avoid parking under billboards, trees, or temporary makeshift structures. 2. The level of wind a car can withstand depends on its weight, shape, and wind-exposed area. Generally, sedans have stronger resistance to typhoons than SUVs because sedans have a lower center of gravity and height, resulting in better grip. 3. Moving cars and stationary cars have different resistance to typhoons. A moving car is in motion, and according to the physics of the relationship between moving objects and wind force, a moving car's ability to resist a typhoon is much weaker than that of a stationary car. Typically, a stationary car can withstand a level 14 typhoon, while a moving car may lose control in a level 12 typhoon, especially when the wind blows from the side, making the car prone to rollover accidents. 4. Drivers should avoid going out in typhoon weather whenever possible. If already on the road and encountering a typhoon, drive cautiously and reduce speed. On highways, exit at the nearest exit and prioritize safety. Below are safety precautions for driving in rainy weather: 1. If the vehicle encounters problems, call the insurance company to report the incident immediately, ensuring to file a claim within 24 hours. 2. Avoid driving in heavy rain if possible. If driving is necessary, thoroughly check the lights, brakes, steering, etc., before departure and drive carefully. 3. If water depth exceeds 20 cm, avoid driving through it. Instead, detour or push the car out of the water in neutral gear after turning off the engine to prevent water from entering the engine.
