4 as bad a. ever Tested cOmpres-
sion OF each cylinder and they do
not vary more than two or three
pounds Motor runs good when
idling or pulling up a hill.
The end play is caused by wear
and can be eliminated by installing
new bearings on the main shaft.
Your service station should be able
10 do this work properly for you.
Motor Department. have been
reading your hints TO motorists in
motor section OF your paper for
some time and appreciated the fact
that your paper has done so much
for the motorist have a 1920
model Little Six Buick touring car
which has developed a knock which
about 10 garage men have failed 10
find. but never falling to charge for
III have read your editorials
about motors for some time but
have neglected writing you about
mv trouble There is nothing wrong
with the running OF the motor ex-
cept a peck which is continual and
annoying TO me- I am sure IL Is no
good TO the car for Il TO be this
way. Some garage men say It is
characteristic OF the Buick TO knock
but this is the third Buick I have
had and / have never heard one
have a knock in il similar to this.
II sounds like 10 was in tappit but
they have been examined several
timcs and new valve lifters have
been put in all the way through. 1
have come to- the conclusion that it
must he in the oil pump as the
shaft has an awful lot Of lost mo-
zion in IL. That is play where it
couples together. I thought ii had
TOO much mp and down play Would
fiber washers placed in shaft stop
this and allow oil 10 be pumped
rs t shoUld be one garage man
said it was the pump but if he stop
PED the peck he would stop the
pump action. c. NJ.
From what YOU have stated il
seems advisable 20 eliminate the lost
motion from the pump shaft. in
stalling new shaft and bushings II
necessary. Wherever there is lost
motion in drive shafts. more or less
noise IS sure 20 result II is barely
possible that the noise may be due
10 piston slap in one OF the cylin-
ders Noise resulting from piston
slap Is very similar to that caused
by worn valve push rods.
