A simple understanding of the piston movement of the relevant knowledge, as a car owner, we need to know more about the use of the piston some precautions and common sense car maintenance:.
1, how many kilometers to change the piston, if you feel that the car's power is not very good is not the piston aging?
Pistons generally do not need to be replaced, unless the car needs to be overhauled, and even if the overhaul is possible piston ring with clearance problems, and the need to replace only the piston ring.
2、Does the piston need to be cleaned regularly for carbon accumulation?
As the working environment of piston in each cylinder is slightly different, the degree of piston carbon accumulation will be different. For the piston carbon cleaning, there is no specific requirement of cleaning time. When the engine cylinder, piston, piston ring wear serious or damage, to the car engine overhaul, then you can clean the piston carbon. It is important to note that the piston is the main part of the engine, and the engine cylinder closely. There is no professional condition to disassemble but will affect the performance and life of the piston. A car properly maintained can extend the service life, without major repairs.
3、Does the piston need special attention in installation and daily use?
First of all, if the piston ring is not properly installed or poorly sealed, it will lead to the oil on the cylinder wall to the combustion chamber and the mixture together, causing oil burning.
Secondly, in use, if the piston ring and cylinder wall clearance is too small or the piston ring is stuck in the ring groove due to carbon build-up, the piston to do up and down the reciprocating motion, it is likely to cylinder wall scratch, after a long time will form a deep groove on the cylinder wall, which is often referred to as the "cylinder pull" phenomenon. The cylinder wall has a groove, poor sealing, will also cause oil burning situation.
Note: In the process of daily driving, you need to ensure that the engine oil level is normal and the engine water temperature is normal.
