The Car Owner's Scrap-B®T
(By the Left Hand Monkey Wrench)
TO KEEP SPARK PLUG FROM
STICKING
When replacing a spark plug it is
a good practice to make a paste of
Nome flake graphite and linseed oil
or cylinder oil, and to smear this on
the threads of the plug. This will
not only help to make the plugs
tight, but will prevent the plug• and
the metal of the cylinder from flush-
ing together, due to the heat, $o that
the plug cannot be taken out •again.
CAUSES OF OIL LEAK';
Fresh oil seen under a car after it
has been standing indicates an Gil
leak. If this is not corrected, more
oil will be wasted than is used.
Loose nuts on the oil pan, loose ed
pipes or bearing in the front case
usually cause the leaks.
When grounding a wire to the
frame of a car, a better jou is done
by cleaning off the paint thoroughly.
NEW GASKET FOR CYLINDER
HEAD
Always include a new ;•asket when
replacing the cylinder head. It is a
good plan to have the 7alket first
soaked in water. Great care must
be taken to have both the head and
the top of the cylinder block ab-
solutely clean. When the gasket is
put on, both sides should be coated
with a heavy lubricating oil. While
the screwing down of the cylinder
head bolts seems a simple matter,
great harm can be done and often is
done by doing this worn incorrectly.
The centre bolt should first be turn-
ed down snug, but not tight; then
those on alternate sides should be
made snug, and finally each given
about a quarter turn till all are
tight.
Gravity reading should be taken
on a battery before it is replenished
with distilled water.
WORTH REMEMBERING
It Is a good plan to cram; the en-
gine over a few times if' a car is
kept inn a cold garage and has not
been used for a week or more. The
pistons, are liable to become stuck in
tbe'r bores by rusting and much
trouble and possible damage may be
Involved in freeing them. Occasion-
al hand cranking of the laid -up en-
gine will help to guard against this
"freezing" of the pistons. Even
though a car is in use during the
cold season, precautions should be
taken against rusting, as the steam
left in the cylinders, when "the en-
-egine is shut down, condenses, maxee
with the oil film, and 30071 ceases
rust.
ELECTRICAL TROUBLES
Lack of inspection cause a major-
ity of electrical troubles on a car.
Generators seldom burn out because
of inherent defects. Electrical dif-
ficulties are usually due to loose or
dirty connections or contacts, such as
battery terminals, the ammeter or
the junction box.
Golfing Around the World
5. Membors of thn Round=l'he-World Coif Club Aboard the %mproas of Scotland on.
her globe -encircling crulso. 2. A golf courso In India. 3. Cammpndor ,Took Latta
of theIsmpross of Scotland, an nuthuslast.ic member efAttre Iionnd•tho-World Club.
("one people are unable to understand the fascination
t) of that Royal and Ancient that they refer to as
"chasing a little ball round and round a field ,• but it
must ho admitted that there must be a gooddeal to
it when players actually start chasing the little bads all
around the world.
And that Is what twenty members of the Canadian
Pacifle Round -the -World Cruise are going to do this
winter. Of course they don't say that th0 only healon
why they are going around the world is in order that they
may play on 26 different golf courses in as many world
;torts; but if the truth meed known the Sphinx and the
Tel Mahal hold not the lure for them that do the golf
courses of China and India and Egypt.
Commander took Latta of the Canadian Pacific Cruise
ship Empress of Scotland, now on her way round the
.world is one of Hie most enthusiastic of the Round-the-
Wbrld Golf Club, and it is ho who tees off from the. deck
of his ship and s lite the fairway far into the ocean with
the first ball of the tournantent.
The above picture shows a feta of the members of the
club taken on board, and a few golf clubs that won't be
allowed to grow runty with discs , this'w+Oter.
