If your car's engine is run-
ning hot; or if your auto-
matic transmission seems to
be sluggish—have your ther-
mostat checked:
Thermostats open and close
to ,regulate coolant flowing
f through the cooling system
to maintain proper engine
temperatures. Functioning
correctly, thermostats should
open to allow coolant to pass
through the system when
the coolant reaches the ex-
act temperature level for
Ich its. engine was de-
signed.
If the . thermostat opens
before the- coolant reaches
this desirable temperature,
the engine will run too cool.
This will result in excess
wear on moving parts, accu-
mulations of sludge in the
crank case and decreased
fuel economy, among `other
things.
However,' should the ther-
mostat fail to open -when the
proper temperature is reach-
ed, the engine is subjected to
overheating. Witt the ther- .
mostat closed, coolant flow is

ter_make sure your car heat-

Often passengers—in the
front seat . are comfortable
but those in the back seat
'are cold. You turn up the
heat, but it does'h't seem to
make it to the back. The hot
gets hotter and the cold stay
cold.
One reason for this may be
a clutter under-seat."Gener-
ally, the heat flow is designed
to travel under the front seat
to the rear compartment: If
there are, rags, papers, tools
and other things in then -way
the heat will be prevented
from reaching the back.
The vital little gadget — the
thermostat_ -that keeps engine
temperatures at the correct op -
berating level.

The slowpoke on the ex-

ous as the speeder. If traffic ,

blocked off from the radiator.
Until the stat .opens, the
coolant becomes hotter and
hotter. When this occurs, the,
engine will deteriorate rapid-
ly as metal parts are tortured
by extreme temperatures.
In addition to costly dam-
agedone to metal parts,
overheating also results in
loss'. of ' engine power,. in-
creased oil consumption, ab-
normal combustion and pre-
ignition. -
And, because transmission
fluid is cooled nin the radiator,
transmission failure becomes
a serious - possibility. A. great
percentage of all automatic
transmission failures can be
traced to engines running
too hot!
It's a good idea to •-have
your car's cooling system
tuned up before cold weather
sets in.
In addition to inspecting
the operation of the thermo-
stat, careful attention should
be, paid to radiator and
heater hoses, hose clamps,
fan belts, and safety pres-
s'ure caps.
Should they fail, any of
_these_ _key -cooling.. compo
nents can lead to serious, and
costly, engine troubles.
