Vexatious Problem TO Insert

Special Guns Are Part Of Equipment

One of the most ~yexatious greasing
problems is 10 insert crease through a
plughole larger than the nozzle of the
gun. To keep the grease from going
everywhere but into the hole. obtain
q cork about the size of the largest
plug on your car. Bore a hole in this
cork so that 1t will slice over the
stem of the grease gun. and when you
are filling a large hole simply push
this cork down to fill the oversize
opening. Chemists rubber corks are
ideal for this purpose. a rag or some
string packing wound around the stem
OF the gun can be forced down to act
as would the cork.
Cars Have Greasine Systems
Many cars o equipped with greas-
ing systems using a special gun which
connects with the nipples on the ear.
This makes II easy to do some adyis-
able cleaning of the grease passages

can be worked like a pump, and then
proceed 10 force air through the grease
connections. This will serve to clean
out the distributing grooves in which
grease residue has probably CONCEALED
during the winter. To make still more
certain of perfect fabrication. precede
the air pressure treatment with a sim

the dirty old grease. which will be
seen coming out on the opposite side
of the spring shackle. Then use air

Other Places for Grease
Nor is greasing something to be put
only Into gun cups and other specified
places. Wipe some grease on the wheel
shoulders against which the demount-
able rim rests on the inside. DO this
about as often as removal of the rim
Is required by tire changing. At the
same time apply grease sparingly to
the rim fasteners and to the rim bolts.
BY this practice, nearly all rim squeaks
are permanently ended.

You Auto Know

That valve leakage Is one. of
the most serious losses of econ
omy in the operation of an auto
mobile for, If the valves leak,
1t is almost impossible to get
good compression In the cylint
ders, and this, in turn, exerts d
powerful influence over the ens
tire performance of the car,
giving rise To knocks, loss of
power and various other ills.
Proper care of the valves and
regular regrinding are therefore
TO be numbered among the tex
p~enses" which are really econ
omies, for they Will pay big
dividends In efficiency and mile
age.
Worn valve stems also cause
leaks which are quite as serious
as those of the valves them
selves. In this case the failure
of the valve stem to fit snugly
into the guider allows air to be
drawn past the stem into the
cylinder, thinning the mixture to
such an extent that the engine
fails to run regularly unless the
mixture Is made richer. while
throttling down to less than ten
mics an hour is almost impos-
sible. The fact that valve
stems need attention is usually
apparent from the kissing sound
characteristic of this trouble.
