HECK operating costs when you use Imperial Polarine Motor Oils. You will quickly realize their economy when you see how lo\v fuel and

‘ oil bills are; what few repairs are necessary and how materially depreciation is slowed up.

But most of all, you'll like the trouble-free opela- I tion that the right grade of Imperial Polarine Motor Oils always insures. ' N0 one thing adds more to the pleasure and satisfaction of motoring.

Correct lubrication with Imperial Polarine Motor Oils pays because it saves on evei__ item of motor ex- pense. It pays, too, on the basis of uninterrupted

service from your car over a longer period of useful-

HESS.

Always make sure you get the grade of Imperial

‘Polarine Oil recommended on our Chart for your type of motor. See Chart at your dealers, or write to 56 Church Street, Toronto, for booklet, “Automo- tive Lubrication.”

steam beglnn to be formed at the hottest surfitces. spch as tho exhaust valve sells, It occupies much of the space In the circulating passages nnd prevents the contact of water with the peril of the cylinder walls which most require cooling. If circulation is not very energetic and the jacket spnges free from "pockets" or points o! sluggish water movement. there Ire areas of the cylinder wall that are so enshrouded with steam that.» they become vex-g highly heated locally. while the whole cylinder ‘dcqulres an excessive average temperature. In fact. the bead parts of nu engine especially, can become objectionnlly overheated although the cooling system contains practically Its usual amount of water. The result is that a steaming engine ls quite likely actually to prelgnlle its charges. by hot spots in its piston heads or Its exhaust valves. reverse forces thereupon acting on its pistons. with consequent reduction o! useful power and severe knocking. these effects being pronounced In high compression engines. especially at open throttle and even if no actual self Ignition occurs. thechnrges become so hot. at the height of compression. that the gas knock-detonation or whatever It may lie-becomes noticeable. Furthermore, the cylinder walls and intake parts are so hot that the charges are [ire-expanded upon entering and contain a lessened amount of fuel which. In burning. does "B! Droduce "full power. Excessive thinning of the cylinder oll under the abnormal temperature, also causes undue friction and lessened output. Very few modern engines can be. operated without knocking loss of power and considerable useless wear and tear. with the circulat- ing water boiling and. while there may be no dancer of cylinder scnriny or any similar damage. so ion: as the system ls full enough to insuri- circulation, It Is best to keep the ivoter temperature safely below the boiling point. in order to Insure maximum engine performance. smooth operation and minimum wear of engine parts. The use of a reliable radiator thermometer is almost essential If boiling. with its attendant risk of low water and the evils above sci forth. is to be avoided h)’ timely notiﬁcation of the rise of the water temperature.

SOUNDS. which are especially Iiotlceiihie when an engine is running otherwise quietly. with the throttle closed. us when the car is c-Jastlngparc vcry likely to lie valve gerar nolscs and their most usual "cause is too much inst ‘motion or clearance between the cam operated pushrod and Ilie valve stem (In pocketed valve engines) or the locker-arm end (In overhcnrl valve engines). The ends of the puslrrorls cnrry n nut and check-nut adjustment to alter their effective length and thus to vary their clear- ance with the part which they operate. In making a readjustment. the engine Is taken when warm and the cylinder to be operated upon ls set. l on its tiring point, to close both valves fully. Every Instruction .book iutates what the clearance should be (sometimes n little more fpr exhausts than Intakes). which is usually in the vicinity of 0.01 Inch or the thickness of a very thin card. If the clearance of either valve Is found Incorrect. the check-nut is loosened and the other push-rod nut is moved to lengthen (or shorten) the push-rod by the required amount. when the check-nut Is again securely locked. Erich cylinder Is set on its ﬁring point, by noting the position o! the distributor nrm and the numbers molded in the distributor-cap. before its valves are adjusted. iWith many engines. adjustments made when Ii is cold are too close and result In the valves holding open, when running temperature ls at- tained. loss of compression and missed explosions being the result. Too great pueh~rod clearance not only makes an engine "sound like a sewing machine." but It decreases the opening of the valve upon which the push-rod acts, thus lnterferrlng with the entrance of the charge or tho exit of the exhaust as the case may be and. what ls of more Importance. makes the valve open late and close early. thus reducing the power.
