ing you for advice. READER
The water should be drained from
the lowest outlet in the cooling sys-
tenn. Usually there is a plug in the
bottom of the radiator, the water
pump. etc. Remove a hose connec-
ton if necessary. When all the
water has been drained then start
the engine and let it run. for about

Motor Department, The News
Times have owned an automo-
bile for a long time, but do not
know much about its construction.
When seeing an engine torn down
my attention was called 70 a crank
shaft. In making inquiry as TO
how this shaft was made and of
what it was made the mechanic did
not seem 10 know much about it.
VIII you please advise me?
V. d.
The manner Ct making crank
shafts depends upon the grade o
the car: that is to say. the cheaper
grades of cars employ the cheaper
method Of construction. The aver
age crankshaft is drop forged and
then machined down. The more
expensive method is 20 turn this
shaft out Of a solid billet of steel.
This you will readily understand
entails a greater amount of work
and incurs greater loss in material
AS to the quality OF material used
the average crankshaft is made Of
nickel steel. A careful heat treat
meant is required in order To give
the shaft considerable physical
properties; that is, proper tensile
strength, etc. A great amount Of
machine work is necessary on d
crankshaft In order to have it alb
solutely true and properly bal
anced.

An emphatic yes was the an
sver given TO this question by D. A.
Boswell, local Essex and Hudson
dealer. who pointed to recent
achievements OF the Essex as an
illustration.
while very few persons buy a car

Motor Department. The News
Times.-At times one or two OF the
exhaust valve on my car will not
close but after the motor gets warm
they act ali right. What causes this?
A. L.
The guides are gummed and
sticky. Il would be advisable TO
clean thoroughly with kerosene both
valves and guides. Valves should
not become sticky unless a very poor
grade Of oil is used. All the old oil
should be drained from the engine
and the whole system cleaned with
kerosene. Then use fresh oil OF a
better grade.

Very few people appreciate
the value OF keeping the me
chanism of a car clean. Dust
and oil make an excellent
grinding compound. There are
a great number of small work

out very quickly and cause a
great deal of trouble. BY keep

left front side of my car. Have
thought it the fender. but this has
been fixed up now so that it cannot
rattle. The rattle is still in the car.
Have had many people look at it.
but none seem to be able to locate it.
Any information that you could give
the would be appreciated.
II. G.
Since YOU have definitely located
IL on the left front side and you are
positive il is not the fender it should
not be a difficult matter 10 find it,
Would suggest that when YOU are
driving the car over a rough piece
OF road that you have some one sit
as near the left front side as pos
sible. II may be that the dustpan
is loose on this side or that the rear
front spring shackle is hitting the
pan. More than likely YOU will find
that the pan is loose and chafing
against the frame or spring. Fur
thermore make sure that there is nc
side slap i'm the spring shackles. This
is a frequent cause of trouble.

Owners Of light cars should

that such things should be given
