II there are no loose bearings the
trouble may be a glowing piece of metal
in the head of engine or an accumula-
ton of carbon. Sometimes a defective
water Jacket occurs in moulding the
cylinder which is almost impossible Of
detection. The cylinder at that point
overheats and causes pre-ignition and
knocking. An excess of carbon is an
other cause of overheating. Running
with spark too far retarded and throttle
too wide open Is still another cause.
These hints should help you to find and

Motor Department. have a 1915
model 81 Oakland. Several weeks ago
had the head OF the motor removed and
carbon scraped out. The repairman
stated the copper gasket was thin in
places and should be replaced. l had
q new one put on and Immediately oil
started coming into my radiator. Since
then have had four gaskets put on, but
has not stopped the oil. The baskets
were shellacked on. Is there any other
way oil should get into radiator? Car
seems to start hard when 1t stands over
night unless carburetor is flooded first.
Could this leak around oil gaslxet lower
the compression and cause difficulty in
starting? q
Evidently the bolts in the head of the
engine have not been drawn UP tight
enough. They should always be tight
ened down again after the motor is
heated up. The difficult starting and
leakage of oil are due to above trouble.
OIL could work into the water Jacket
from crack or defect in the casting
which opens up with the heat, but your
trouble is evidently all in the gasket
1t is also possible that the cylinder
head bolts are too long and bottom
when frightened. This may be overcome
by cutting the bolts.
