Take your car to your service station and ask the mechanic to give.your ear a "cooling system tune-up" and bell prob- • ably -stook at you and scratch his head. He knows about ignition tune-ups and carburetion tune-ups, but he might not know about the "see- ond tune-up" — a cooling system time -up. Yet this procedure is a vital part of your cat's maintenance and one that's long over- due for most cars. A cooling system tune- up is a thorough inspec- tion and check of all the parts in your car's cooling system and replacement of _ those components that are worn, deteriorated or mal- functioning. To understand the need for a cooling system time - up, we must first look at the function of the sAtem. Simply stated, the cooling system keeps your car's engine at the proper oper- ating temperature which allows it to perform at top efficiency. An engine that runs too cool will burn excess gas, run rough and may con- taminate the oil with sludge build-up. An engine that runs too hot may boil over and engine parts may fail. Keeping its cool To accomplish the task of keeping the engine at the correct temperature, auto manufacturers have developed the pressurized cooling system which al-, lows a special coolant (not water) to circulate through the engine where it picks up the. heat being pro- duced by combustion. This special coolant can be heated well above the boiling point of ordinary water without boiling over. The "super heated" cool- ant is piped into the radi- ator where the rush of cool air carries the heat out into the atmosphere. The cooling system on the average automobile engine must be able to - withstand up to 20 pounds per square inch of pressure combined with under -hood _ and coolant temperatures that can reach from 275°F. to. 300° F. (135 to 150 M. These high temperatures and -pressures put tremen- dous strains on all cooling system components—cool- ant hoses, drive belts, wa- ter pump, thermostat, ra- diator cap. It takes only one of these key parts to fail or f malfunction to cause the engine to overheat with costly internal engine damage as the likely re- sult. If you are driving a late model car and it's been more than a year since y6u've had your cool- ing system checked, you're overdue for trouble. You're ready for a cooling system tune-up. It's worth it The cost of a cooling system tune-up is rela- tively small compared to the potential savings you could realize by preventing a costly break -down or expenns�ive engine repairs. A , c6bling system tune-up normally takes about an hour and a half to accom-• plash and it carries a nom- inal flat rate of $18.00 - : labor, plus parts. If your service station marl or garage mechanic doesn't know about cooling system tune-ups, ask him to check: his Fiat Rate _ _ The WE ARE SPECIALISTS IN G>lassen GLASS ...
