Clean Spark Plugs.

1t is advisable to clean and read
just the spark plugs occasionally.
The Rice belt journal. (Welsh, Calcasieu Parish, La.) 1900-19??, 1920-09-18
WHEN AN ENGINE
LOSES ITS pep"
Loss of Compression May Be
Caused by One of Several
Different Ailments
KEEP CYLINDER HEAD TIGHT
Be Sure That Spark Plugs Fit Tightly
as Cracked Porcelain Will Permit
Escape-Keep the Engine Free
From Carbon.

Those acquainted with motoring
joys and sorrows know that loss Of
compression is nothing pleasant to
look forward to. It's causes are many
and sometimes hard to find and re-
pair.
Try the compression of each cylin-
der If it is weak or if it varies in
the different cylinders repair the
trouble at once. 1t may leak in the
piston rings; it may escape through
leaky valve or petcOck or OOze past a
spark plug. If the engine head is de-
tachable it may leak past the gasket.
Then, again. you may have a cracked
cylinder, but this is another problem.
Care must be taken to keep the
cylinder head tight, and in tightening
1t evenly all around, for if the gasket
Is not held firmly at any point it will
give way and leakage will result.
Heated Oil Is Thin.
The piston rings may have turned
so that the openings are all in line
or you may be using such light oil
that the engine does not get a tight
compression seal. Oil when heated is
very thin. In some cases patented
piston rings win help eliminate the
leakage. If the cylinder is worn oval
there IS no remedy except that of re-
boring it. Kerosene will help free the
rings Of carbon, but it is best to use
1t when you are ready to drain off the
old Crankcase oil.
During compression the valves
should be tightly closed. A broken
spring or faulty adjustment will pre-
vent their closing, and this will result
in no compression at all, or in the
case of incorrect timing the trouble
Will be noticeable as a lack Of power
In all cylinders. Carbon under the
valves will prevent them from seating
tightly. The remedy here is to keep
the engine free from carbon, the
valves clean and be sure that the tim
ing of the valves and the tappet ad-
justment are as set down In your in
Structi0n book.
Worn Cylinder.
When an engine that is clean, prop
erly fabricated and has its valves
ground regularly shows a serious loss
of power the lack of proper compress
sion may safely be ascribed to the
piston rings having worked into line
or the cylinders having worn to a point
where the plstons are unduly loose.
With the modern type rings the for
mer Is rare fault nowadays, so that
the cause Is narrowed down to plain
wear.
These are the chief causes of loss
of compression, The self-starter, the
boon Of the present day motorist, is
accompanied by one rather unfor-
tunate result. The operator who
cranked his engine by hand knew the
feel of the compression and was guild
ed by 1t in determining to a certain
extent the power of his engine. Many
persons seldom crank their engines by
hand and have no guide except the
operation of the car to warn them
compression is falling off. Watch the
compression; it will save you money
that otherwise you would give to the
repair man.

AUTOMOBILE
RGAF1IN'rSMlA

An ordinary button hook Is a mighty
useful addition to the motorists tool
kit.
The first hint of leaking valves is
kissing sound in the cylinders when
compression occurs.
Neatly covered tires look much bet
ter hanging on the back of the ma
chine than do bare tires.
It Is good plan not to carry a new
tire as spare, because it offers too
tempting a bait for the dre thief.
Tire chains are practically always
used In wet weather and care is neces-
sary to keep them from getting rusty.
Continual misfring in one cylinder
is usually traced to poor compression
or to a bad spark plug, which should
be remedied Immediately.
