Cooling Systems Deserve More Than Anti-Freeze If Car is More Than One Year Old Better Ask Service Technician For a Tune-Up No. 2

If your car is more than a year old, you’re in line for cooling system problems or trouble. Could be a simple thing like a worn or cracked V-belt, a hose that’s getting soft or brittle, a radiator cap that’s not holding pressure. But, one thing’s sure — when one part is about to give way, you can count on others needing attention, too. So, don’t stop your winter cooling system protection with just an anti-freeze check-up. Ask your service technician for a Tune-Up No. 2. Here’s what he’ll do: He’ll thoroughly inspect and check all cooling system components — hoses, V-belts, water pump, thermostat, radiator caps, hose clamps. Then he’ll replace worn or malfunctioning parts and set you up for carefree driving in any weather. Cooling System Vital a cooling system tune-up so important?

top efficiency. To do this, automotive engineers came up with a pressurized cooling system, This permits the coolant to rise well above the normal boiling point without “boiling over.” Modern engines, for example, are engineered with cooling systems that must withstand pressures in excess of 17 pounds plus underhood temperatures ranging as high as 278°. Keep in mind that the boiling point of water at sea level is 212°! Heat’s Damaging These high heats and great pressures are bound to put a strain on all parts of your car’s cooling system. Just one defective or worn part can cause your engine to overheat with possible extensive and costly repairs following quickly.

THE AUTO "SLANGUAGE BARRIER" Ever wonder what your service station attendant means when he starts talking "slanguage” (the language of the trade)? Most women do when they pull into a service station with a problem only to have the attendant say, "Lady, your timing is off ..." Well, he doesn't mean he's too busy to work on your car. It's a standard service station phrase. Here are some you might run into on your next trip and what they mean. & Doesn’t The term... refer t 0... Correct Definition... Poor timing Social Your car is built so that the gasoline is electrically fired blunders when the piston is in the right position. When the fuel fires prematurely or too late, the car won’t operate smoothly. Distributor Your The distributor regulates the sequence in which spark newsboy plugs are fired to provide the power that drives the wheels. When the distributor is out of adjustment, the firing time is off and the engine won’t run smoothly. Tune up Musical It’s a series of adjustments made to make your car run interlude more smoothly, and includes replacing the spark plugs, condenser and points, and adjusting the carburetor. Spark plug Barney You're getting closer. They do affect the horsepower! Google's Spark plugs are ceramic and metal electrodes designed to horse permit electricity from the distributor to arc in the cylinder head. The electric arc ignites the gasoline, which drives the piston down to provide power. Normal driving erodes or fouls the electrodes, requiring periodic adjustments replacement. While the tongue-in-cheek definitions given above are designed to be humorous, the explanations point to a very real problem — the proper care for your car. The American Petroleum Institute strongly recommends that you have your auto checked periodically for safety’s sake and to help prolong car life.
