Allowance Necessary in Driving Car After Grinding Valves. Fifty per cent of the advantages saiaed by grinding in the valves are \'lost again by immediately driving t car with normal valve tappet clear- ances. The valves, after a grinding. must be given an opportunity to | bound down until they seat properly. | If no tappet clearance is provided for this process over a period of about 100 miles, the valves may burn and warp. Carbon will collect under the heaas and around the seats.

Yet it is so economical that consumption of fuel has not been increased one iota. Show Is Stimulant. -Larger—and with 25% more power—this new Nash “Enclosed Car” motor gives to a Sedan the brilliant “liveness” and sparkling responsiveness that has hitherto identified the finest kind of touring car action. And the design is such that with normal usage you may expect the mileage to mount well up into five figures before you give the motor the slightest thought beyond ordinary care in changing oil.
