Will you please publish answers
to the following questions?
have a 1914 Krit car. How far
apart should ends of piston rings be
when fitted in cylinders?
Cylinders are 11-16 inch bore.
Would it do any harm to bore them
to 81 inches?
What effect would reboring cylin-
ders have on valves whose size re
mains the same?
Have rather long aluminium intake
manifold. Could it be shortened so
as to raise earburetor?
After removing all paint from
body of car, what is best to use for
first coat, shellac or paint? A
READER.
Ends of piston rings should come
within 1-6l of an inch of each other.
Reboring to the size mentioned
would do nc harm unless the cylin-
ders and pistons were badly worn,
in which case there would be a ten
dency to piston slap. This could
only be avoided by fitting new pis-
tons and rings.
There would be no effect on the
valves.
DO not shorten inlet manifold as
p7soline might not be able to reach
c9rburetor when going up hill.
Make sure paint is all removed,
rsine fine sandpaper or emery cloth
and use shellac as first coat.
