Motor Department I have a Chevrolet Model 4'J' which lins taen run about miles. When I turn the motor over on compression and hold it there, a dhvlnrt hissini; can be heard which seems to come from the crank case because when I hold my hand o fr the l.nathrr pipe the lii.wn? cannot be heard. This is noticeable on three cylinders in different decrees, and is evidently due to the compression hakim; somewhere because the hissimr gradually dies away as the pressure decreases. It looks ery much like leaky rlnjr.s 3uU there are no evidences -f excess oil in the cylinders and the park plus; do not foul up at all. Compression icem? fairly pood. Is this fcKsinp a ceTtain indication of leaky rir.jrs or c uld it be caused by a leaky pasket or leaky alves? I will preatly arpriciate any information you can piv me on this matter. G. H.
