are being used they viii generate
some heat. The thing to do is to
stop the car without using the serv-
ice brakes and then feel the bands.
II the car is equipped with a
propeller shaft brake, this will be
handy for the test, since one can
stop the car without confusing

due to the lack of proper clearance.
If the car has no propeller shaft

foregone conclusion that the engine
will not be cooled properly unless
the fan is free to revolve at the
speed it was designed for. This
means that one should inspect the
fan bearing and make sure that 1t
has enough grease. IL one presses
his finger on the ball of the high

backs out, the chances are the
bearing needs a little grease. Too
much grease, however, will tend to
