caused by improper fitting, loose bolts,

To Discover Loose Piston.
A loose piston gives a very short
knock, its clearness varying with the
size Of the cylinder and metal used in
the piston. It can be located very
easily by the use Of the listening ap-
paratus against the cylinder wall. 1t
is caused by a large bore, small piston,
or taper piston or bore.
Successful hunting for these trou-
bles requires great deal Of expert
ence that can be obtained only by con-
tinued practice, which develops the
sense SO that not only are the different
knocks easily distinguished, but they
are also speedily located.-Popular

VARIOUS KNOCKS
OF auto ENGINE
One Of Most Delicate Problems
Amateur Motorist Has to
=
Deal With.
LISTENING DEVICES ASSIST
Each Faulty Motor Part Has Different
Sound, Which Comes In Regular
Periode-Experlence Obtained
by Practice.

One Of the most delicate problems
the amateur motorist has to deal with
IL that Of distinguishing between and
locating various engine knocks. While
there are numerous listening" devices
on the market, experience is, as usual,
the best teacher, and will enable you
to repair it before 1t develops into
serious trouble. A few Of the mysteri-
GUS knocks are described below.
The more experience one has in lis
tening to knocks, the more expert will
one become In finding them and telling
what Is loose. Each faulty motor part
has different knock, which comes al
ways in regular periods relatively to
the speed Of the engine.
Locating the Trouble,
A loose connecting-rod produces a
sharp bump or a very heavy hollow
sound. It is easy to locate the faulty
connecting-rod by running but one
cylinder at time, in which case two
bumps are usually noticeable, due to
the relief Of the explosion pressure.

SPRINGS SHOULD BE
GIVEN PROPER CARE
Leaves Slide Upon One Another
When Car Moves.
Mud, Dirt and All Foreign Matter Can
Be Excluded by Covering With
eoots-0ood Grade Of Leath-
or Substitute Favored.

The leaves Of an automobile spring
are intended to slide upon one another
when the car is in motion. Many car
owners allow the springs to get dirty,
to 60 without fabrication and to be-
come very rusty. The leaves become
so dirty that instead of sliding on
each other, they work almost as If
they were one solid piece Of steel.
Then, when the car strikes a hole or
q bump In the road the springs are
compressed and instead Of each leaf
working as q separate unit, the lower
leaves Of a rusty spring are held fast
to the upper leaves. The reaction
from the compression Of such a spring
Is many times greater than the reac-
ton Of a clean, well fabricated spring
where the leaves are allowed to slip
on one another as they should.
The first step toward a remedy is to
keep mud and dirt and all foreign
matter away from the springs. This
can be done effectively by covering
them with boots. Some supply stores
carry covers to at q good range Of
sizes Of springs, but II you can't buy
them already made, you should be able
to make them yourself, sewing them
together Of. leather or a good grade Of
leather substitute, advises Motor Life
Magazine. The advantage Of the latter
material IL that 1t Ia much cheaper
than leather, and being waterproof, It
will keep dirt and moisture away from
the springs.
