Try the Crank.
If an engine is not running well and
a compression loss is suspected, the
simplest way to detect 1t is to use the
crank and turn the engine over by
hand, and thus feel the. compression
on each individual cylipder. You will
nearly always find that some pistons
will 60 over compression much easier
than others. and this means that some
where there Is leak In this cylinder.
The number Of miles which car
should run without having the valves
reground varies greatly depending on
oiling and other engine conditions.
With the average car under normal
running conditions, however. 1t Is
probably wise to have the valves
ground at least once every 5000 to
10000 miles, depending on the operat-

Inefficient Working Of Automobile

COMPRESSION BLAMED
Dlsarranged Motor May Appear to

ours When Car 10 Being Run

Thousands Of gallons of gasoline are
wasted every day by motorists be-
cause Of the inefficient operation Of
their engines.
An Important detail to watch to
keep the engine running efficiently is
the compression. A motor with faulty
compression may appear to run fairly
well when driving the car at reason
able speed or when 1t is working hard.
Lost compression shows up when the
car ID being driven at a comparatively
