An engine is seized when it is unable to turn over, primarily due to internal components fusing together, often from overheating or lack of lubrication. Signs include an inability to start the car, a starter that clicks but doesn’t turn the engine, or a completely unresponsive starter. To diagnose, try manually turning the crankshaft with a wrench; if it doesn't move, the engine is likely seized. This condition often requires significant repair or replacement, as it indicates severe internal damage. Regular maintenance, such as oil changes and cooling system checks, is crucial to prevent seizing. If you suspect your engine is seized, consult a professional mechanic for a comprehensive assessment and to discuss the most viable options for repair or replacement.
Many auto parts stores like AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts or O'Reilly Auto Parts offer a free diagnostic service to read codes associated with your check engine light. You can also often borrow a code reader tool and do it yourself. However, remember that this is just the first step as these codes sometimes need further investigation to precisely pinpoint the problem.
The ideal pressure for road bike tyres typically ranges between 80 to 130 psi, with variations depending on the rider's weight, tyre width, and riding conditions. Lighter riders may prefer lower pressures for increased grip and comfort, while heavier riders might require higher pressures to reduce the risk of pinch flats. Additionally, wider tyres can be run at lower pressures without compromising performance, enhancing comfort on rougher roads. Manufacturers often provide recommended pressure ranges on the tyre sidewalls, but experimenting within these guidelines can help find the optimal setup for individual preferences and conditions. It's crucial to check and adjust tyre pressures regularly to ensure the best balance between rolling resistance, grip, and durability.
