Testing engine cylinder pressure involves the following steps: 1. Warm up the engine and then shut it down; 2. Remove all high-voltage wires; 3. Use cylinder compression pressure to expel spark debris; 4. Remove all spark plugs; 5. With the throttle fully open, rotate the engine crankshaft to take measurements. Precautions for testing engine cylinder pressure include: 1. Ensure the battery is fully charged and the starter is in good technical condition; 2. The engine's cooling temperature should be within the specified range; 3. The engine's lubrication conditions should be optimal; 4. When measuring each cylinder's pressure, ensure the compression stroke occurs at least 4 times; 5. During testing, stay clear of external moving parts and hot areas of the engine; 6. When removing or installing engine spark plugs, take care to prevent foreign objects from entering the engine interior.

How to Deal with Scratches on a Car?

Wet the sandpaper and gently sand the dirt at the scratched area. Ensure thorough sanding to completely remove the dirt, as residual dirt can cause paint to peel off. After cleaning the dirt, apply the touch-up paint pen to a piece of paper to match the color with the car body. Use a cleaning cotton pad to wipe the area that needs touch-up painting. Unscrew the upper part of the touch-up paint pen cap and use the brush to apply the paint evenly. Apply thin layers, approximately 2-3 layers in total.
