problems .
Take your car to your
service station and ask
the mechanic to give your
car a "cooling system
tune-up" and he'll prob-
ably look at you and
scratch his head.
He knows about ignition
tune-ups and carburetion
tune-ups, but he might
not know about the "sec-
ond tune-up" — a cooling
system tune-up. Yet this
procedure is a vital part
of your car'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 tune-
up, we must first look at
the function of the system.
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 C) .
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
malfunction to cause the
engine to overheat with
costly "as engine
damage as the likely re-
sult. If you are .driving a
late model car and it's
been more than a year
since you'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 doStly 'break-down or
expensive engine repairs.
A cooling' system, tune-up
normally takes about
hour arid a half to accOrn-
plish and it carries a nom-
inal flat rate Of $18.00
labor, plus parts.
