When adjusting the valve clearance, the piston must be at the top dead center of the compression stroke; otherwise, the valve will be held by the rocker arm, making it impossible to adjust the clearance. When rotating the crankshaft, the rise and fall of a screwdriver can be used to determine whether the top dead center has been reached. At the top dead center of the compression stroke, both valves are in the closed position. The gap between the adjusting screw end face on the rocker arm head and the top surface of the valve stem is the valve clearance.

Is Points Deducted for Making a U-Turn on a Crosswalk?

U-turns are prohibited on crosswalks, otherwise 2 points will be deducted. Below is an introduction to the handling of traffic violations: 1. Timeframe: The vehicle owner needs to go to the local traffic police station to handle the violation within 15 days after receiving the penalty message. If it exceeds 15 days without handling, a late fee of 3% per day will be charged, but the late fee will not exceed double the original fine amount. Early handling can avoid unnecessary penalties. 2. Confirmation method: The fastest and most effective way to know whether you have violated the traffic rules is to inquire about the violation at the vehicle management office or traffic police station. Important documents such as the driver's license, vehicle license, and ID card must be brought, all three of which are indispensable. It is also advisable to prepare some cash, so that even if a violation record is found, the relevant procedures can be processed immediately.

Will points be deducted if the car body crosses the line in Subject 2?

In Subject 2, the car body crossing the line refers to the car body crossing the line during the reverse parking test. In this case, points will be deducted, and the test item will be judged as unqualified. Below is relevant information about the Subject 2 test: 1. Test content: For small cars C1 and C2, the test items include reverse parking, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, and driving through curves (commonly known as S-turns), which are the five mandatory test items (some regions also have a sixth item, high-speed card collection). 2. Passing criteria: The full score is 100 points, with evaluation standards set for unqualified, minus 20 points, minus 10 points, and minus 5 points. For large passenger cars, tractors, city buses, medium-sized passenger cars, and large trucks, a score of 90 is required to pass. For other vehicle types, a score of 80 is required to pass.

Is the Subject 3 score valid if Subject 2 is failed but Subject 3 is passed?

The Subject 3 score remains valid. However, if you fail Subject 2 but pass the road driving test in Subject 3, you cannot register for Subject 4. To schedule an exam, the following conditions must be met: 1. Condition 1: The driving school registration information must be entered into the vehicle management system computer database by the vehicle management office. 2. Condition 2: Scheduling for Subjects 1, 2, and 3 requires specified time intervals. If you fail Subjects 2 or 3, you must wait 20 days before using the computer system to schedule a retake. 3. Condition 3: The driving school training must meet the requirements (the training must comply with the standards recorded in the computer database of the transportation bureau, the training regulatory authority).

Why does brake failure occur when brake pads overheat?

High temperatures can cause vaporization of brake fluid. Below is relevant information about brake pads: 1. Classification of brake pads: Asbestos brake pads (mostly phased out), semi-metallic brake pads, low-metallic brake pads, NAO formula brake pads, ceramic brake pads, NAO ceramic brake pads. 2. Ceramic brake pads vs traditional brake pads: In traditional brake pads, metal is the primary material generating friction, providing strong braking force but with significant wear and prone to noise. After installing ceramic brake pads, abnormal squealing (clicking sounds) won't occur during normal driving. Since ceramic brake pads contain no metal components, they avoid the metallic screeching noise caused by friction between traditional metal brake pads and their counterparts (i.e., brake pads and rotors). 3. Stable friction coefficient: Ordinary brake pads use immature friction materials, and excessively high friction coefficients can lead to loss of directional control during braking, pad burning, rotor scratching, and other safety hazards. Even when brake rotor temperatures reach 650°C, ceramic brake pads maintain a friction coefficient between 0.45-0.55, ensuring excellent braking performance.
