CLOUGH Zditor Motor Service Dureau Review' of Reviewd Commonsense And Valve Grinding Grinding Valves Is Good For Just One Thing--Leaky Valves WHEN THE SEATS AND STEM GUIDES of engine valves are so badly designed-that they are not adequately cooled by the circulating water, the valves themselves, especially the exhausts, may become so hot as to warp, or to form scale or pits in their surfaces. If the valve material is poor this effect is intensified. An undue amount of ofl vapor and gasoline soot in the mixture fouls the faces of the exhaust valves especially and the constant hammering of viaves on their seats, with road dirt brought in with the mixture as an abrasive, produces its effect too in time. However, the valves of modern engines are well cooled and of good mate: fal, and it is rarely that a set of them requires any attention for several thousand miles. Often times a mileage of five figures is made with no valve grinding being necessitated. Some how or other, valve grinding has become the "favorite prescription" of the motor car doctor, supposed to cure the engine of "what ails it", It is recommended for' all "skips," "knocks" and other infirmities of the ignition and carburation system and for almost everything else, short of broken crankshafts. This is all very foolish. Valves do require grinding at long Intervals. They require grinding when they have become leaky and under no other conditions.

Sar TO ADJUST ENGINE BEARINGS F. R. B. asks: injury to my stall -------- spark plugs instead of those furnished by the manufac- turers, and do you think they will give me any better results? Answer: Your engine takes a spark plug with an extra long shell and any plug which is right to be used In your make of engine can safely be tried In it, but we have very little faith that the plug you propose trying wiil give any better results than the one used as a standard by the manufacturers, for the manufacturers of all cars make very careful tests of spark plugs, and are very anxious to adopt the plug which permits their engine to do its very best work. Will it do any car If I In-| F. D, asks: How tight should engine bearings be adjusted? I re- fer to the main bearings, and also those of the connecting rods. How do you test bearings to see that they are properly tight? Answer: Each bearing is set up when all other bearings of its shaft are loose, and it should not be set |up so as to bind the shaft appreci- ably. When this practice is fol lowed, the shaft is still free to turn when all the bearings have been separately adjusted. We do not c ider a shaft right to run If it turns very stiffly, due to its main | bearings or connecting rod bear- ings being set too tight. USE OF CONDENSER F. D. asks: Of what purpose is the condenser as used in the igni- tion system of a car, and where ls it located? : The purpose of the condenser is to cause the ignition current to be interrupted with the utmost suddenness, this being the W. A. W. asks: What can I do to correct the following condition? The rear side of my car sags badly "And is becoming more serious. Answer: We suppose that this is simply a matter of the right spring having flattened out in serv- ice, and that when you have the spring reset and replaced your car will be plumb again. You can re- move this rear spring and ship it back to the factory, after receiving A new spring from them, and they will give you credit for the old one, you can take your present spring to a good spring maker and Why Carburetors Need Occasional "Tinkering" Understand Your Carburetor Fully Before Attempting Adjustments THE ADVICE IS FREQUENTLY GIVEN: Do not tamper with the carburetor, as it has been correctly adjusted at the factory, and doubt- less this admonition is intended in the very best spirit, for it is a fact that, when once properly set, a carburetor will go on performing satis. factorily as long as conditions do not change, so that altering its adjust. ments unintelligently or needlessly, will do more harm than good. The Treason why this advice should not be literally followed is that car- buretor and carburation conditions are subject to change snd it is foolish to assert that a factory adjustment can be either infallibly. per- fect or prove permanently right. Among the factors that make carburetor adjustment occasionally necessary are the following: Changes of gaso- line quality, involving differences in its viscosity or "bodv", that alter the rate of fuel flow through the fuel spraying hozzlé. The "heavier" the gasoline used, the less will pass through a certain aperture, under a certain pressure. Changes in atmospheric density, as between low and high altitudes, less oxygen being contained in a cubic foot of air at a high elevation than, for instance, at sea level. The same sdjustment that is correct at Denver will not necessarily be so at New York. Change in the action of carburetor parts with time. due to the weakening of springs controlling the air supply and the alteration through wear, of links that interconnect different portions of the mechanism. Changes in the operative temperature of the intake system and cvlinder walls, as between extremes of summer and of winter weather. When no means are taken to overcome the effects of such atmosnheric differences, & more liberal gasoline adjustment must be maintained in cold weather, because so much of the fuel supplied fails to vaporize and burn properly, in the carburation requirements sought. Some operators wish a mixture rich enough to produce maximum acceleration and power, even at some sacrifice in economy, while others. in order to save gasoline, are willing to use a slightly leaner mixture. A motorist should avoid changing his carburetor setting, unless it is known to require it but should not hesitate to do so when it is advisable. Instructions, minutely explaining the correct method of adjustment. are obtainable from the manufacturer of every make of carburetor. and every motorist Jaen Hilliyrine himself with the directions applicable to his particu- a good spark. The condenser also --by breaking the current so sud- denly--preveats any sparking at the contacts, and thus keeps them from burning and roughening. In this way the condenser enables the ignition system to operate for long periods of time withont any atten- tion being required by the breaker points. The condenser is usually mounted with the distributor, sometimes within it and sometimes attached to it. Occasionally it is mounted with the coll, BRACING FOR CHASSIS F. W.

It is said that the words "touring \ car' 'as they were used ten years ago were perfectly correct, but to-day, with the automobile becoming more and more a factor in business life and transportation ,the factories feel that their cars have ceased to be touring cars, so the name "'phaeton' has been decided on to designate the five-passenger open models. In the same way many of the lead- ers of the industry are now at work to insure that every manufacturer will agree on a set of names for the closed models and this will pro- hably be done by the first of August. when next year's cars begin to make their appearance. These names will probably range about as follows: The phaeton; the roadster the sport roadster; the spont, four-pass- enger phaeton; the brougham or coach to designate a low-priced closed model; the two and three- passenger coupe; the sedan; the limousine; the landau sedan, to de | signate a car with a top which can be lowered for the occupants of the rear seats. Other names, such as Victoria, Imperial limousine, dispatch, speed- ster, carry-all and several hundred others are due to go, it is said. SPARK PLUGS SHOULD CLEAN THEMSELVES If Engine Is Functioning Pro- perly the Plugs Need Never Come Out. The only part of a spark-plug which it is essential to keep clean is the surface of the porcelain, lava or mica core thet insulates the cen- tre or live terminal from the shell or grounded porticm. It is unneces- sary to clean the sparking points themselves, despite the general be- lief to the confrary, although any deposits that - bridge between the points should be removed. Plugs will not become dirty except in en- gines using over-rich mixtures or which allow loose ofl to collect above the pistons. Even when these conditions exist for a short time and then cease, plugs will clean themselves autcmetically--the elec- trical discharges and the combus-. tion disposing of soot and ofl de- posited on the insulation. In an engine that is run on a correct mix- ture and hes a properly working oiling system it should never be necessary to remove the plugs to clean them, and they should run thousands of miles 'without atten- tion. Plugs, the insulation of which around the live spark-point is ex- posed, can usually be cleaned suf- ficiently merely by brushing off the deposits from the end of the bush- ing, but to do a thorough job the plug may have to be taken apart. Plugs, the end insulation of which is not exposed, usually have to be 0000000000000 00 CEPPEPPBL409 299042000004 %00 ® | ton Battery Service W. MILNE 3 DOORS BELOW W. P.
