Many 4r owners point with pride today to their cars with pressure lu- bricating s; emsy yvet such svstems were used vears ago. The Cadlllac V-type engine is 11 vears old, and since the adoption of V-type engines it has been recognized that pressure lubrication is essential. Recently some one suggested the advantages of using the flywheel of 1 engine as the basis of oil circula ion.

One of the simplest ways of stopping a rim squeak is to run for a short dis | tance with the lugs fairly loose. The | rim then has an opportunity to read | just ftself and will stop squeaking of its own accord. If the squeak pe L when the lugs are tightened again’ repetition of the process usually will turn the trick. Skip in the Engine. Whether the skip in the engine is due to spark plugs missing or to the carbure may be determined by ob. ving how the trouble manifests it self. G ally speaking, if it is con stant the trouble can be traced to a ble is more likely to be due to the carburetor. A carburetor may per form properly when the engine is cold, nd not when it is hot, or vice versa. | | The first thing is to try the car at different engine temperatures. It is well to remembeer, however, that spark plugs are more prone to miss at low engine speed than at high, Keep These in Mind.

The car should be run a while after battery in order to start chemical ac tion in the direction of charging. If the hattery stands after water is add- ed it will be weaker than it would have been if no water had been added. 2. The idler gear in the front-end drive of an engine is placed between the crankshaft and water pump (or accessory shaft) gears, thus enabling | the latter to be geared for a greater | number of revolutions per minute than the crankshaft. 3. Offset cylinders offer a means of | reducing side thrust on cy and increasing the stroke of the en ne. { 4. The main req or chemical used as an engine fuel must vaporize | quickly. 5.

Otherwise the wind will carry the robe off the hood and perhaps drop it on the street. Keep the grease gun on a bracket attached to the engine sile of the dash. Thus after the car has been running the grease will be somewhat {softened so that the work of lubri ing the chassis will be greatly sim- plified. 3 REDUCE GAS EXPENSE. Advice to Motorists Who Ride Only in Week Ends. « owners who go motoring only over the week ends in Winter, or who | garage their cars for a week at time, should buy gasoline in smaller quantities. The chances are they will not motor during cold wedther where they could not buy gas en route should they find them- | selves driving farther than they had nticipated.
