Before filling up with wa ter, it is well to give the radiator, Jackets and piping a thorough flushing out, as not all the solid matter will escape when you drain out the antifreeze. A good way to do this is to open the draw-off at the bottom of the radiator and the ones in the cylinder-jacket and pump, if any, and insert the end of a garden hose in the radiator filler opening, turning on the water to the point at which it begins to overflow and letting it run until the outflow at the draw-offs is perfectly clear. tions at this time.

Don't Make Your Engine Commit Suicide Every Minute Of Fast Racing Reduces The Engine's Useful Life By Hours A WELL KNOWN CAR MANUFACTURER, in his instruction book, says: ment no doubt, but nearer the truth "More engines have been ruined through racing them when idle than have ever been worn out through service." A pretty sirong state than most people may think. Man- ufacturers almost unanimously caution their customers against racing their engines, although sometimes in less striking ternmis, but yet motor ists, all too frequently disregard these warnings to their own serious detriment. Just consider for a moment. . Suppose, in order to heat your engine up quickly, you open the throttle a good bit and "let her roar" for a while, with the car standing. Very likely you have the throttle open enough to run the car at ten miles an hour or more, in high, on a level road, if the engine were in gear, and, of course, this would mean that quite a little power was being developed. But at this throttle opening, the idle engine is running many times as fast as it would be if driving the car and consequently many times as much power is being developed by the racing engine as by the engine when loaded. It is clear that a good many horsepower are being produced by the engine, 4s it busses and roars, but how is all this power being used? The engine is not connected to anything and the conclusion must be that it ts being absorbed within itself. Yes, the engine is producing power, which Is being expended In self demolition--in racking itself into junk, by striking its parts together and bending and deforming them at such a rate that the destructive energy so expended amounts to many horse- power. Bear in mind that a fully loaded engine, even if running very fast, exerts its power usefully in doing the propulsive work for which it was designed, but that an engine running idly at high speed has no outlet for its energies and they are to pleces.

Oil pressure, as Indicated by the gage of my car, is very erratic, sometimes be- fog normal when the engine is first started and gradually drop- Ping to zero and at other times never bullding up but slightly. Sometimes it varies from zero to normal independent of engine Speed. The pump gears have been replaced, the piping proved to be free from obstructions and small Ppleces of candle wicking have been put in the joints, to guard against leaks. What is the matter? Answer: Sometime when the gage indicates zero, detach the gage-tube union at the crankcase and see if oil escapes freely at the opening, while the engine Is kept running. If it does, the gage is def ® and a new one should be 1 . If It does not, it indicates that the pump is not working and We suggest installing a complete new suction pipe, so as to eliminate Air leaks on the suction side of the pump. As the pipe is made up :| with compression unions, no wick packing is required. If this does not stop the trouble, examine the under the pump-housing cover to make sure it doesn't let alr leak in. Are you sure the ofl strainer In the crankcase is not ob- structed, so as to prevent oil from returning freely to the intake of the pump?
