What to Do When the Cylinder Gasket of Wuling Hongguang is Blown?
2 Answers
Cylinder is a cylindrical metal component that guides the piston to perform linear reciprocating motion inside the cylinder. The specific solutions for the blown cylinder gasket of Wuling Hongguang are as follows: 1. If the cylinder gasket is blown and the damaged area is a small crack: The small crack can be filled with asbestos thread dipped in paint. 2. If the damaged area of the cylinder gasket is relatively large: Cut a piece of dry cowhide or an old cylinder gasket of similar shape to cover the damaged area, fill the seams with asbestos thread, and carefully tap to ensure good bonding. 3. If the damaged area of the cylinder gasket is between two cylinders: The damaged area between two cylinders should be wrapped with dry cowhide or asbestos thread covered with copper sheet before use.
Driving the Wuling Hongguang for logistics over the years, I've encountered two blown head gaskets. At the time, the dashboard temperature gauge immediately shot up to red, and white smoke came out of the exhaust pipe with an engine oil smell. This issue really can't be delayed, so I immediately pulled over, turned off the engine, and called for a tow truck. At the repair shop, after disassembling, it was found that the cylinder head had deformed and squeezed through the sealing gasket. The mechanic said that rear-wheel-drive vehicles like this bear heavy loads, and frequently hauling heavy goods in summer makes them more prone to problems. To fix it, the damaged head gasket had to be replaced, and the flatness of the cylinder head needed to be checked to see if it required grinding. Additionally, the emulsified fluid in the water and oil passages had to be cleaned out, and even the engine oil and three filters had to be completely replaced. After the repair, I drove another 50,000 kilometers. Now, I check the coolant level every month and immediately inspect and repair any abnormalities.
