Because cast iron cylinder blocks have stronger thermal load capacity, more mature technology, greater cylinder block strength, higher durability and reliability, larger adjustable limits, and greater potential. Cast iron engines exhibit excellent heat resistance, demonstrating far superior stability compared to aluminum engines during high-temperature, high-speed driving. Below are relevant introductions about cylinders: Introduction to Cylinders: In pneumatic transmission, cylinders are pneumatic actuators that convert the pressure energy of compressed gas into mechanical energy. There are two types of cylinders: those performing reciprocating linear motion and those performing reciprocating swinging motion. Cylinders performing reciprocating linear motion can be further divided into four types: single-acting, double-acting, diaphragm-type, and impact cylinders. Function of Cylinders: To convert the pressure energy of compressed air into mechanical energy, driving mechanisms to perform linear reciprocating motion, swinging motion, and rotational motion.

What are the specific steps for vehicle exhaust emission testing?

Information entry needs to be performed inside the login booth. The testing scheduler will log into the computer and allocate the testing lines. Vehicles ready for inspection can only proceed when they arrive at the designated testing line. Test personnel will follow the computer's instructions to perform the operations. After passing a series of tests successfully, the testing department will issue the environmental label to the vehicle owner.

Difference Between 97 and 98 Octane Gasoline

Compared to 97 octane, 98 octane gasoline has a higher anti-knock index (RON) by one octane unit. Increasing the octane number of 97 octane unleaded gasoline by one unit requires greater technical difficulty and higher processing costs. The higher the octane rating, the stronger the anti-knock performance. What people generally consider as "purer" and better is mainly reflected in the gasoline's anti-knock properties. The applicable ranges for different octane ratings are as follows: 1. 90 octane gasoline: Suitable for vehicles with engine compression ratios between 7.5 and 8.0. 2. 93 octane gasoline: Suitable for vehicles with engine compression ratios between 8.0 and 8.5. 3. 97 octane gasoline: Suitable for vehicles with engine compression ratios between 8.5 and 9.5.

What to Do When the Baojun 560 Remote Key Fails?

It is recommended to replace the battery. Here are some precautions for using car keys: 1. Do not leave the spare key in the car: If the smart key is lost due to improper storage, it can cause many inconveniences, and the cost of re-matching is relatively high. 2. Avoid contact with metal objects: Contact with or coverage by metal objects may cause the smart key to malfunction. Additionally, other items may damage the smart key during bumps. For smart induction keys, changing the key requires modifying computer parameters and re-matching a new set of keys. The owner needs to provide vehicle and identity proofs, and the manufacturer must provide the corresponding parameters or password for the vehicle model. After replacement, the lost key can no longer start the engine. 3. Do not use the wrong battery: Be cautious when replacing the battery for the smart car key. Any mistake can burn out the circuit board inside the key. Owners should try to replace the battery at a professional 4S shop. 4. Avoid rough handling: Most smart keys have internal circuits that are not highly impact-resistant and can be easily damaged by severe collisions. Moreover, if the smart car key gets wet, the internal circuits may burn out, causing the remote to fail. Additionally, avoid placing the smart key under the windshield or in other high-temperature environments where it is exposed to direct sunlight.

How to Solve the Restricted Function Issue of BYD Qin EV?

When the vehicle has restricted EV functions, it is necessary to immediately take it to a repair shop or 4S store for professional repair to avoid unnecessary trouble during use. About EV: EV stands for electric-vehicle, which is the abbreviation for electric vehicles. Advantages of pure electric vehicles: They are quite environmentally friendly, generally do not produce any tailpipe emissions, and therefore do not cause pollution to the environment. Moreover, pure electric vehicles produce very little noise during driving, making them quite comfortable to ride in. Disadvantages: Their range is certainly not as good as that of fuel-powered vehicles. In remote areas, charging may not always be convenient. Additionally, in terms of nationwide coverage, pure electric vehicles still have a long way to go. Related information: Besides EV, there is also HEV, which stands for hybrid-electric-vehicle, referring to hybrid vehicles that mostly use fuel and electricity as the vehicle's power source. Compared to pure electric vehicles, this type of vehicle eliminates the hassle of self-charging.

How to Start and Shift Gears on a 125cc Motorcycle?

Ignite the engine, pull the clutch tightly with your left hand, adjust the left foot pedal to neutral gear, take two steps forward while sitting on the bike—if there's no stutter, it's in neutral. Pull the clutch tightly with your left hand, tap with the tip of your left foot to shift up to first gear, release the left-hand clutch while slowly accelerating with your right hand. For braking, first pull the clutch tightly and then apply the brake with your right hand. While pulling the clutch tightly, tap forward with the tip of your left foot to shift up one gear, or tap backward with your heel to shift down one gear.
