H. SCOTT! step-by-step instruc tons to the motorist who wants to reduce his repair Dills, get more pawer from his motor, and eltminate trouble during the coming touring season. Overhauling the Lubrication System Tn the winter months, few engines Teoeive the care and attention they, should, with the result that « thorough | Inspection and checking up is neces- ary if you want to have trouble free service in the coming months. During the next few weeks, I will explain in Getail the necessary work you will have to do to put your car in first class condition for the touring season. Perhaps you may be one of those who have an engine which seems to “make” ofl, in other words, the oil level {s as high or nearly so, when you finish a run as it was when you went eut, The explanation is that an ex- cessive amount of gasoline is finding fts way Into the crankease, and while the ofl leyel shows plenty of oll, you really have a mixture of gasoline and oll, which is of very little use as a | lubricant. During the winter months consider- able condensation takes place in the crankcase, and when you drain off the old oil, you may be surprised to see a small quantity of water is drained off also. The alr drawn through the radiator contains a large Per cent of molsture during the cold | weather. Some of this air Is drawn through the breather pipe into the crankcase where it immediately con- denses, causing an accumulation of water in the crankcase. After you come in from a run, the! } first thing you generally do {s to have @ wash to remove the dust and grit accumulated on the road. This same dirt and grit 1s also being drawn down into the crankcase through breather pipe, and before long you have quite a quantity of {t mixed with the lubricating oil. Dust, grit, water and gasoline are not the best lubricants In the world for @ motor, yet at the end of say 500 miles running, you have in the lubri- cating ofl a large amount of these sub- They. all combine and form @ slimy sludge, which causes all kinds ef trouble, blocking the ofl pipes, the oil strainer, and getting into the bear- ings and on the cylinder walls, caus- ing rapid wear. Now s wi Rem hot nyeryod ‘out of the crankcase at the head the list of things to be attended to fore the heavy touring season com- the} Unscrew the drain plus and al- low the old oil to drain off, then re- place the plug and pour about a gallon of kerosene Into the crankcase. Now turn the Ignition Switch off, theu turn the engine over with the start- ing motor for about a minute, or if you use a hand crank, swing the ene gine over smartly for about three min- utes. This will swill the dirt and sedi ment down, . Once again remove the drain plu and drain o} the kerosene, then get un- der and re- move the oil pan and strainer. Thoroughly clean the pan and the depressions in it, and see that the strainer is free from lint and sediment. It 1s absolutely necessary that you REMOVE THE OIL PAN after flushing out the engine with KEROSENE, otherwise it is impos- sible to be sure of getting it all out of the crankcase before filllng up with fresh oll. If any kerosene remains in the crankease, it will dilute the oil again, When ing the pan, irst screw up each bolt - finger tight, then with a spanner, turn cach bolt half a turn at a time until you ha them all tight After this, all up with fresh oll to the correct level, Before you start the engine under power, turn ft over twenty or thirty times with the Ignition Switch off, to get the oil worked into the bearings and cylinder walls. This 1s the most thorough way to clean out the crankcase, but need onl be Siem Like this once or sedges season. During the season, ald drain every 700 sale tai out with three-fourths of a gallon of LIGHT LUBRICATING OIL, NOT kerosene, then refiJl with fresh oll. NEVER flush out the crankcase with kerosene unless you take off the oll » when you can be sure of remor- jy all kerosene, NEXT WEEK—“OVERHAI THE COOLING SYSTEM.” I the S-N-L Copyrighted, by climbed country.
