Motorcycle burning engine oil is due to the piston ring oil ring having insufficient elasticity and excessive light leakage. Insufficient elasticity and excessive light leakage: When the piston ring oil ring has insufficient elasticity and excessive light leakage, it leads to burning engine oil, which is a problem with the piston ring itself. If the gap between the valve stem and the valve guide is too large, or the valve oil seal does not seal tightly, this burning oil phenomenon is unrelated to the piston ring. Even after replacing the piston ring, the engine oil may still burn. Cylinder size deviation and excessive ovality: If the cylinder size is out of tolerance and the ovality is excessive, or if the surface has scratches or grooves, the oil ring cannot scrape off the excess oil on the cylinder wall, causing oil to enter the combustion chamber and participate in combustion. If the taper ring is installed upside down, it will scrape oil upward, also increasing oil consumption. If the piston rings are not staggered in position during assembly and are aligned in a straight line, oil consumption will sharply increase.

Will Insurance Cover Spontaneous Combustion of a Car?

If you have purchased spontaneous combustion insurance, the insurance will cover the spontaneous combustion of a car. Here are the details: 1. Liability Division: Liability division is necessary. Spontaneous combustion insurance only covers burning caused by the vehicle itself. Therefore, after a spontaneous combustion incident, you need to obtain a liability determination certificate from the traffic police department. Once it is confirmed that the burning was purely due to the car's quality issues, the owner can proceed with the insurance claim. 2. Notes: There is a 20% deductible in spontaneous combustion insurance, so generally, the insurance company only covers 80% of the loss. The remaining loss can be claimed from the car dealer or manufacturer, as the manufacturer is also responsible if the car spontaneously combusts due to quality issues. If negotiations fail, you can seek help from the industrial and commercial department.

Why did the dashboard brightness of Honda CR-V suddenly dim?

If the dashboard brightness of Honda CR-V suddenly dims, it may be because the instrument backlight has entered the night working mode, causing the light to dim. Relevant explanations are as follows: 1. This adjustment method is controlled by the vehicle computer. When the driver turns on the car lights, the computer will receive the signal and process it based on the situation where the outside light is too dim or it is dark (the driver would turn on the lights), thus automatically adjusting the dashboard light to dim. 2. The purpose of this adjustment method is to make the dashboard light soft and not dazzling, making the driver's eyes feel more comfortable and less prone to fatigue, thereby improving driving safety. Extended information: The car dashboard is a device that reflects the working conditions of various vehicle systems. Common indicators on the car dashboard include fuel indicator, washer fluid indicator, electronic throttle indicator, front and rear fog light indicators, and warning lights.

What was the earliest diesel engine?

The earliest diesel engine was successfully manufactured by Diesel as the world's first experimental diesel engine (bore 15 cm, stroke 40 cm). In 1890, Diesel returned to Berlin and devoted himself to the study of power engines. Diesel hoped to create a diesel engine that was better than gasoline engines. By 1897, theoretically, diesel engines had higher efficiency than gasoline engines and were more suitable as power sources for ships; additionally, diesel engines did not require electronic ignition, and the diesel fuel they used was cheaper than gasoline. The first engine had a power output of 13 kW, with small heat loss and an efficiency of 38%, far surpassing that of steam engines and gasoline engines. Soon, this type of machine became widely used as a stationary engine in power plants. After continuous improvements, it is now not only used in ships but also widely applied in large buses and trucks.
