QUERIES AND REPLIES
ABOUT YOUR AUTO

Q. Will you please tell me under
what conditions poppet valves should
be replaced, and also of what dimen-
sions should new ones be ordered!
A. When the valve seat becomes
worn so that ridges form then it is
advisable to install a new valve.
Likewise if the valve stem has ridges
an new valve should be installed.
When the seat of the valve becomes
very much pitted, and these cannot
easily be removed by grinding it Is
best to replace the old valve with
new one. Valves are not expensive
and better results will be obtained
by so doing.
1t is not necessary to obtain over
size valves when replacing. However
the new valve should be carefully
ground into the cylinder seat.
@. / have 1916 car which has
been giving me good service in every
respect except the frame. This does
not seem to be strong enough for the
rest of the car. 1t has broken three
times and has tendency to sag. A
friend of mine has a new frame which
he says, will fit my car, with the one
exception that is it is little long.
Ny friends frame is much heavier
and more substantial and / would like
to know whether it would be diff
cult job to make the change. Can
you give me some information re-
garding this ?
A. 1t would be rather an expen-
Jsve operation to install new frame.
In the first place you state this frame
is longer than the old one which will
necessitate the frightening of the
wheel base of the car, This will en-
tail considerable work and probably
require a number of new parts. 1t is
also a question whether the motor
transmission and other parts could
be changed over without making a
number of expensive operations. Since
you have an old car it>would hardly
seem advisable to enhance its value
by such costly repair. 1t would seem

nited by the occasional firing of the
cylinder and as a result you hear this
live gas exploding in the muffler.
@. Will you kindly tell me which
is preferable, a leather-laced cond
clutch of multiple disc clutch run
ming in oil? Is a light car better
equipped with high tension magnetic
only, or with the dual system?
A. You will find that there are
many high grade cars using the
leather-faced cone clutch. There are
also many high grade cars using the
multiple disc clutch. Engineers diff
fer as to which is the better. When
