Replace the cylinder, piston, piston rings, etc. The numbers 125 and 150 refer to the engine cylinder displacement. According to the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations," replacing the engine requires applying to the local vehicle management department. Replacing the piston and cylinder head: Between 125cc and 150cc, the piston, piston rings, cylinder head volume, and valve sizes are different. Besides some slight differences in the carburetor, other parts are completely the same. Replacement must be done by professionals. Replacing the cylinder kit and cylinder head: If only the cylinder kit is replaced without increasing the exhaust speed of the valves, it can cause the engine to overheat, and the power increase will not be significant. Modifying the displacement: You can replace the cylinder with a 150cc one and then replace the clutch plates with 150cc ones. This will significantly increase the engine's power.

How to Drive Through an S-Curve Using Rearview Mirrors?

The method for navigating an S-curve using rearview mirrors is as follows: 1. When entering the curve, gently press the clutch to control speed and slowly approach the S-curve entrance. When the left front edge of the car aligns with the right line of the S-curve, quickly turn the steering wheel one full rotation to the left. After turning left, observe the left rearview mirror to monitor the distance between the car body and the left line. Make minor steering adjustments to maintain a distance of approximately 30cm. 2. Pay attention to the relationship between the left and right rearview mirrors and the left front edge of the car with the lane lines. When the left front edge aligns with the lane line, maintain the steering wheel position and proceed slowly. 3. Return the steering wheel slowly without excessive movement to avoid crossing the line. 4. At the curve junction, straighten the direction and proceed straight. Then, observe the small mirror at the right front corner of the car to ensure the body maintains about 30cm from the right line. 5. When the car exits the first segment of the curve and is about to enter the second segment, watch the left front ridge of the car. When it aligns with the left lane line, quickly straighten the steering wheel. After pausing for a few seconds, when the right front edge of the car aligns with the left lane line, turn the steering wheel one full rotation to the right. The car will slowly turn right. During this time, carefully monitor both rearview mirrors, especially the distance between the car body and the right lane line in the right rearview mirror.

How to Adjust the Valves of a Four-Cylinder Engine?

To adjust the valves of a four-cylinder engine, first rotate the first cylinder to the compression top dead center (there is a scale on the crankshaft pulley or a mark on the crankshaft flywheel) and align it with the 0 mark or the pointer in the timing gear chamber. Adjust the intake and exhaust valves of the first cylinder, the intake valve of the second cylinder, and the exhaust valve of the third cylinder. Then rotate the engine 360 degrees and adjust the exhaust valve of the second cylinder, the intake valve of the third cylinder, and the intake and exhaust valves of the fourth cylinder. Below are some important considerations: 1. When the engine is running, the valves operate at high temperatures, causing thermal expansion and elongation of the valve components. Therefore, a certain valve clearance must be reserved when the valves are cold to ensure that the valves and valve seats remain tightly sealed even when the valves expand due to heat. Over time, the original valve clearance may change. Thus, if you hear a "clicking" noise from the valves, you should check and adjust the valve clearance. 2. When adjusting the valve clearance, it is essential to follow the manufacturer's specified values and ensure the valves are fully closed during the adjustment. The adjustment locations for valve clearance are: on the tappet for side-valve engines and on the rocker arm for overhead-valve engines. Common valve adjustment methods include: single-cylinder adjustment, two-step adjustment, and expression method. However, due to the wide variety of engines and the different sequences of intake and exhaust valves, these methods can be cumbersome and hard to remember. Moreover, if the engine's firing order (or injection order) is unknown, the adjustment process becomes even more complicated.

What is the normal voltage of a car charger?

The voltage of a car charger is 12V. Here are the detailed explanations: 1. Car chargers used in vehicles have rated voltages. 2. The car charger is mainly designed to make it more convenient for car owners to charge digital devices while driving. 3. Nowadays, cars are equipped with car charging ports, usually with two USB interfaces, allowing simultaneous charging for two digital devices. 4. The built-in car charger is generally located on the car navigation system, with a well-designed USB interface that does not occupy too much space in the car. 5. In some car models, the car charger is directly inserted into the cigarette lighter in the car.

What Causes a Sudden Increase in Idle Speed While Driving?

Reasons for a sudden increase in idle speed while driving: 1. Automatic transmission downshifting: For automatic transmission cars in D mode, the computer programming sets the gear-shifting sequence. After downshifting, the idle speed naturally increases to maintain speed continuity, which is a normal phenomenon; 2. Manual transmission cars going downhill: As the speed increases, the vehicle's motion is transmitted to the engine, restraining the engine speed from rising, which is also normal; 3. Cars with clutches may experience varying degrees of idle speed increase when the clutch is disengaged, and turning on the air conditioning can also cause a slight rise in idle speed—both are normal; 4. It cannot be ruled out that the issue stems from car malfunctions or other causes, such as a dirty throttle, excessive carbon buildup, transmission failure, or poor fuel quality. If these abnormal causes are suspected, it is necessary to visit a professional auto repair shop for inspection and maintenance.

How to Deactivate the Alarm with a Spare Key?

Spare keys do not require deactivating the alarm; it will not sound upon the second use. More information about car alarms is as follows: 1. Car alarms are multifunctional products that not only serve as anti-theft alarms but also offer remote control features such as opening the trunk, locking/unlocking doors, opening/closing windows, starting the engine, and locking the engine. 2. A car alarm is a device installed in a vehicle. If someone hits, impacts, or moves the car, the sensor sends a signal to the controller indicating the vibration intensity. Depending on the vibration intensity, the controller will emit a warning sound or trigger a full alarm to deter thieves and alert the owner.

What to Do When Car Exhaust CO Levels Exceed Standards?

Solutions for excessive CO levels in car exhaust: 1. Clean the three-way catalytic converter: Use an IV drip method similar to human intravenous therapy to introduce cleaning solution into the vacuum tube of a running engine. The ingested solution burns away carbon deposits in the combustion chamber, enhancing engine power, then cleans the contaminated three-way catalytic converter in the exhaust pipe, restoring its original energy-saving and emission-reducing functions. 2. Repair aged or failed three-way catalytic converters: When the precious metals platinum, rhodium, and palladium inside have deteriorated and cleaning doesn't restore exhaust purification effectiveness, spray nano-precious metal (Pt-Rh-Pd) liquid into the removed converter. This achieves performance nearly equivalent to original equipment. 3. Install replacement catalytic material: Insert commercially available Fire Lotus three-way catalytic metal soft carriers into the exhaust pipe to serve as substitutes for the original converter's substrate, thereby improving exhaust purification.
