VALVES MUST Be
ADJUSTED RIGHT
Engine viii Not Run Correctly If
They Are Not Given Proper
Attention.
u|F1ERS Often NEGLECTED
When Motor Loses Power Trouble 10
Usually Laid to carburetor or
Faulty Ignition-Wise Plan to
Examine and Reset.

Proper adjustment of valve filters is
vital to the car if it is to give maxi
mum efficiency. If they are not prop
erly adjusted the best engine In the
world will lose power. Because they
are not right out in plain sight the
valve lifters are many times neglected
until they force themselves to the own
er's attention.
Ordinarily when the motor loses
power the fact is attributed either to
the carbureter or to faulty ignition
and many times 1t is hard to convince
the owner that 1t is valve lifts which
are accountable for his inability to
climb hills and obtain the speed on the
level to which he is accustomed.
Examine and Reset.
They become noisy, due to the fact
that the distance between the lift and
the cam becomes too wide. BY stop
ping the motor. removing the valve
plates and shaking them up and down
one may locate the ones out of adjust
ment. Sometimes more than one Is at
fault and 1t is a good policy to exam
inc and reset all while about 1t. Ex-
anime the adjustment carefully to I'M
derstand 1t, for much damage may be
caused by turning the wrong nut. One
is the locking nut which must be
lOosened first. The adjusting nut is
then set to the right distance and the
locking nut again set up.
The opening should approximate 1-64
OF an inch for exhaust, and $1,000
inch for intake valves. An ordinary
business card is a good gauge for the
exhaust valve. while a piece of note
paper will serve for the inlet.
Clearance Too Great.
If the valve clearance becomes too
great the valves open late and close
early. Since they should move exactly
as the designer intended. it is evident
that the engine will lose power If both
ends are cut off. If the clearance is |
not enough the engine will lose COM
preston and with it a great deal of
power. This is due to the fact that as
lengthens. AS they grow longer they
use up the space between the valve
stem and the valve litter. If the space
is too small the valve stem rests on
the valve litter. As It lengthens the
head of the valve is lifted of Its seat
in the cylinder, opening the valve and
so losing compression.
