One of the secrets to longevity: avoiding heat

The engine piston temperature is too high, which can easily cause overheating and melting, leading to cylinder holding; Rubber seals, triangular tapes, tires, etc. are prone to premature aging, performance degradation, and shortened service life due to overheating; The coils of electrical equipment such as starter motors, generators, and regulators are prone to overheating and are easily burned out and scrapped.

The second secret to longevity: avoiding dirt

If components such as fuel filters, oil filters, air filters, hydraulic oil filters, and various types of filters are too dirty, it can lead to a decrease in filtration efficiency. Dirty components such as radiator fins, air-cooled engine cylinder and head fins, and cooler fins can lead to poor heat dissipation and high temperatures.

The third secret to longevity: avoiding rebellion

The engine cylinder gasket should not be installed backwards during installation, otherwise it may cause premature burning and damage to the cylinder gasket; Do not reverse the installation of engine fan blades; For tires with directional patterns, such as herringbone pattern tires, the ground imprint after installation should point the herringbone tip towards the rear.

The fourth secret to longevity: avoiding deficiencies

The engine valve lock plates should be installed in pairs. If they are missing or not installed, it will cause the valve to lose control and damage the piston and other parts; Anti loosening devices such as split pins, locking screws, safety plates, or spring washers installed on engine connecting rod bolts, flywheel bolts, and transmission shaft bolts, if not installed, may cause serious malfunctions during use; If the oil nozzle used to lubricate the gears in the engine timing gear chamber is leaked, it will cause serious oil leakage in that area.

The fifth secret to longevity: avoiding oil

The paper filter element of the engine dry air filter, if contaminated with oil, can easily cause high concentration mixture to be sucked into the cylinder, resulting in insufficient air volume, increased fuel consumption, and decreased engine power; If the triangular tape is stained with oil, it will accelerate its corrosion and aging; Brake shoes, friction plates of dry clutches, brake belts, etc. that come into contact with oil can pose a threat to driving safety. Tire rubber is highly sensitive to oil corrosion, and contact with oil can cause the rubber to soften or peel.

The sixth secret to longevity: avoiding washing

The paper air filter of the engine cannot be cleaned with any oil; For leather components, it is also not advisable to clean them with oil.

The Seventh Secret to Longevity: Avoid Stress

If the outer tire is stored under pressure for a long time and not flipped in time, it will deform due to compression; The paper filter elements of air and fuel filters, if squeezed, cannot reliably function as filters; Rubber oil seals, triangular tapes, oil pipes, etc. cannot be squeezed.

The eighth tip of "longevity": avoid nearby fire

Rubber products such as tires, V-belts, cylinder liners, water blocking rings, and rubber oil seals are prone to aging, deterioration, or damage if they are close to a fire source, and may also cause fire accidents.

The Ninth Secret to Longevity: Avoid Repetition

Some parts should be used once, but some drivers or repairmen reuse them in order to save or because they do not understand the "taboos", which can easily lead to accidents.
