Main St. Ph. 385-0294 Radiator Care Helps Cool It this Season If you're like most motor­ ists, you probably have your car tuned up once or twice a year, to prevent trouble and assure that you're get­ ting the most your car has to offer in the way of per­ formance and fuel economy. Those tune-ups you've been getting are fine for your car's ignition and fuel systems. But they do noth­ ing for the car's cooling sys­ tem. Unless your engine is kept at just the right tempera­ ture, it will perform poorly, waste fuel, and possibly even burn itself out long be­ fore its normal life expec­ tancy. The heart of your car's cooling system is the radia­ tor, which contains the coolant that is pumped through passages in the en­ gine block, to keep the en­ gine from overheating. The coolant absorbs the heat from the engine, and then is pumped back through the radiator, where it is cooled off by the fan. So in order for your car's cooling system to do its job properly, the radiator, wat­ er pump, thermostat and fan must all be operating efficiently -- which means that the belts and hoses which connect these key elements must also be in tip-top shape. This means that just as you have the ignition and fuel system tuned up peri­ odically, you need to have your cooling system checked out and tuned up, too. The Gates Rubber Company calls this a "Tune-Up Num­ ber 2," and has prepared the accompanying checklist for automotive service techni­ cians to use in performing this second tune-up. Clip it out and take it with you next time you're planning to have your car serviced. Housecleaning Hook Ya? Well, Start by Visiting Your Auto Supply Store Remember Washers When putting anti-freeze into your car, don't forget the windshield washer fluid. 0e^- SAVE MONEY! SAVE ENERGY! NOT ELECTRICAL! 7se &utdU Inc. 1 2914 W. Route 120 McHenry, Illinois 60090 Phono: 815-309-6740 If the grease and grime created by the do-it-your­ selfers at your house has you working overtime in the laundry room, the following information may help. Go to your local automo­ tive supply store or the parts jobber frequented by automobile mechanics, and buy some mechanics' hand cleaner. Not the old fashioned abrasive stuff of years gone by, the kind that took the skin away with the dirt . . . but the new kind of creamy product that won't hurt sensitive skin and really does an excellent cleaning job. Most can be used with or without water. They are treated with lanolin (or similar prod­ ucts) , and even have an an­ tiseptic agent built into the formula to help heal the minor nicks and scratches that are part and parcel of most Saturday afternoon projects. Most manufacturers sup­ ply dispensers to hold the hand cleaner container so that you can dispense the cleaner efficiently and eco­ nomically. Their low cost permits installation of one in the garage and one in the basement workshop for real convenience. You will also find the auto store a revelation in terms of household helps that you don't see adver­ tised on TV. There are bags of easy-to- use floor cleaner that eat up garage floor grease fast and save you the job of cleaning up the grime that used to be tracked Into your house. There are adhesives, super lubricants, squeak stoppers, rust and stain re­ movers, sealers, degreasers that you spray or brush on and hose off with water ... to mention just a few. , Some of these products you may find in your hard­ ware store, but many are strictly auto supply store fare, because they are the professional materials used by professional mechanics . . . but many have appli­ cation in and around the house. Check the Parts and Sup­ plies stores near you. Then do a little browsing and ask some questions. Your pantry shelves may soon be stocked with a va­ riety of auto products right along with your favorite de­ tergents. And pretty soon you'll wonder how you ever got along without them. HANDLING SKIDS If your car goes into a skid on a wet or icy street, turn the steering wheel in the direction of the skid. Do not jam on the brakes but pump them gently. Space Between Cars Always remember to al­ low plenty of room between you and the car ahead dur­ ing the slippery season. <Lvd It ̂ Irn^A ' Come To Jewel For festive foods 3718 WEST ELM STREET McHENRY, ILLINOIS Jewel does more than youtf expect This Holiday Season I CHRISTMAS HOURS: 8 a.m. - 11 p.m. 7 Days A Week PRICES EFFECTIVE, UNLESS bTHERWISE INDICATED' THURS , DEC 13 THRU SUN , DEC 16 AT ALL JEWEL FOOD STORES IN COOK, LAKE, DU PAGE AND MC HENRY COUNTIES (EXCLUDING RIVER OAKS).

Some, like checking your battery, radiator, and oil level, are things you probably already do. But you may not have realized that you can also check your own belts and hoses in a jiffy, without special tools or training. In fact, more and more car owners are not only check­ ing these vital parts, but are also discovering that it's not too difficult to install the replacements themselves. These often-neglected belts and hoses can cause a lot of trouble if they're allowed to deteriorate. A loose V-belt can cause your motor to overheat, your gas consumption to rise, and your accessories to malfunction. And a burst hose can cause your engine to overheat to the point of total destruction. The Gates Rubber Com­ pany offers the following tips on checking belts and hoses. BELTS Most belts look fine on the top, even when they're in terrible condition. So, when you're checking your car's V-belts, be sure you look at the sides and bot­ toms. Here's what to look for: • Cracks on the under­ side are rapidly made larg­ er by flexing. Belt can break without warning. • Glazing -- slick hard sides cause low battery and overheating. • Grease-softened un- dercore and slick sides cause slipping -- also rot rubber. • Peeling -- Undercore peels or frays at bottom corners so that belt runs rough -- soon fails. • Split belt -- Top of belt may look good, but un­ dercore may be split or sides badly worn. And while you're check­ ing the condition of your V-belts, you should also check to be sure that they're properly tensioned. A loose and slipping belt slows fan, pump and generator -- causes poor cooling, over­ heating, battery failure. It is difficult to over tension a belt with ordinary tools. Check belt tension and tighten as necessary. As a rule of thumb, tension is proper when belts can be pushed down about Va" at midpoint between pulleys. HOSES Many hose defects can be spotted just by looking, but it's always a good idea to check each hose for soften­ ing or hardening, by squeez­ ing. Rubber hoses should be firm, but not brittle. Things to check for are the following: • Cracks and breaks cause leaks that can't be stopped by tightening clamp. Squeeze. If cracks go to cords, replace hose. • Hardened hose is stiff -- transmits shock to radia­ tor -- fails without warn­ ing. You can't seal by tight­ ening clamps. • Swelling -- Spongy ends or swelling indicate that hose has been ruined by oil or jgrease. • Hidden failure--Hose may look good, but it may be deteriorated inside, clog­ ging radiator with particles. Squeeze it, and replace if soft. • Worn clamps--When checking hose, replace clamps that can't be tight­ ened. If you replace hose, always replace clamps. SHOWS THEY KNOW -- If you're looking for proven competence of an auto me­ chanic, this orange and blue shoulder patch on his uniform is one sure-fire indication. The patch and the specialty em­ blems shown in tones are awarded to auto service per­ sonnel who can pass a thor­ ough examination on one or more car systems skills. More than 30,000 mechanics have taken the tests, administered by the National Institute for Automotive Service Excel­ lence, an independent, non­ profit organization. Facilities having certified mechanics al­ so will have a display card on the premises. 7W/£ FOR upjiwsu This CHRISTMAS J GET YOURSELF A MOORE Q MAT IC RADIO CONTROLLED Garage Door Opener EXCELLENT QUALITY UNIT Worm Gear Powered SAFE!
