"WHIP" ELIMINATED
FROM CRANKSHAFT

One of the greatest advances
made recently in automobile engi-
neering has been the use of a great
ly improved crankshaft. with four
bearings, thus minimizing the vi
bration and noise which occur in
the engine.
For several years auto builders
have been adopting heavier crank
shafts. made OF better quality ma
terial, in order to reduce Vibration.
1t is believed that many will go a
step further. as the Liberty engi-
neers did. and practically eliminate
vibration and noise by giving the
crankshaft the extra support sup
piled by an additional bearing
The so-called whip in a crank
shaft is to blame for much Of the
noise and vibration, and ii was to
get away from this whip" that
many cars adopted a fourth bear
Ing. This added bearing aids the
crankshaft in resisting the strains
imposed upon il by the explosions
in the cylinders. 1t is on the prin-
ciple Of a bridge being supported
in the middle by two piers instead
of one.

How to Lengthen Valve.

With regard to valves. they often
become short in the stem from
constant hammering. and if the
tappets are not Of the adjustable
type the proper opening or the
valves cauot be attained. There are
several ways of adding a piece Of
steel TO the stem. but with the tools
ordinarily available the best way is
to drill a small hole from 3-32 to Is
Of an inch in diameter up the stem
and then file a steel pin that can
be sunk in very tight. Drill and
countersink a hole through a piece
of steel. strip and rivet into the
stem by the projecting bit Of steel
pin. Finally trim off with a knife.
