Increased fears about the quality of our air and water are heightened by recent reports of holes in the ozone layer. Nearly two-thirds of total carbon monoxide, more than a quarter of the hydrocarbons and a third of the nitrogen oxides which pollute our atmosphere come from motor vehicles. These most offending com- ponents, can reduce emissions and save gas.

Here Are Facts Of Engine Life An early warning sign of engine wear is excessive oil 'consumption, usually accompanied by blue- black exhaust smoke. A common reason for this condition is worn valve guide seals, according to Car Care Canada of the Automotive Industries Association of Canada. The valves in a typical engine pay open and close as often as 100,000 times per hour at highway speeds. The stem of the-valve, sliding up and down its guide, is fitted with a special seal designed to permit only a limited amount of oil to pass. (Some oil "is necessary for lubfication.) When these seals wear or harden, oil burning begins. Many of the conditions which cause an engine to burn. oil prematurely are due to vehicle neglect. Piston rings, for example, can wear out prematurely because of the owner's failure to change the oil and filter regularly. Worn rings lead to excessive oil consumption. specializ CYLINDER HEADS 985- panied by repl ment of bearings, timing belt or chain, valve guides _. and other worn internal components. At that time valves are ground or "replaced. This procedure, com- bined with a complete tune-up, usually will return the engine to nearly new performance. With proper mainten- ance an engine should go well beyond the 160,000 km mark without needing an overhaul. Check engine oil regularly, recommends Car Care Canada. If oil is over-full or smells like gasoline, it may be diluted with gasoline, thereby having lost some of its lubricating qualities. If you have to pump the accelerator to keep the engine from. stalling, you may be pumping raw gasoline into the crank case. This situation can be avoided by keeping the engine in tune. Misfiring spark plugs 'can aggravate a situation such as this because they permit raw, Gnburned gasoline to wash into the crank case. Not only does this create hard starting, it also accelerates wear due to diluted engine oil. Another factor in oil burning is a malfunc- tioning positive crank case ventilation (PCV) valve, which is intended to route oil vapours through the combustion chadiber rather than permitting them to escape into the atmosphere. If the PCV system is not in proper working order, it can be the cause of oil burning. Excessive: oil burning is a condition that gradually worsens and can affect "other aspects of the engine. Like so many other car troubles, early detection and correction are essential.
