It is not difficult lo have one. although sometimes it is expensive if you have not been careful In the handling of your mo tor from the start. Assuming that you have a good, quiet running motor, or a motor in good condi tion, it >h cany to keep it quiet if a few simple rulcH will be kept in mind. QuietncHH in a matter of comparison. Some motors are inherently noisy, but most modern motors are designed to be quiet, and will remain quiet if the owner will give them the proper attention. On« of the noisy parts of an engine is th* valve tappet, and this should be adjusted properly If watisfuction is going to be had from the operation of the valve, and at the same time if the valve is going to b« quiet THE TAPPET ADJUSTMENT. The tappet adjustment is provided at the bottom end of the valve stem and is for the purpose of arranging the proper amount of clearance between the end of the valve stem and the tappet. Owing to the head of the engine a little clear ance must be left here to take care of the expansion of the parts, so that when the engine becomes hot, the valve will not be lifted from the seat, due to the expansion of the stem and working parts, and be come leaky. Generally a clearance of about .003 or .004 of an Inch is about right (about thickness of a visiting card), .003 for the intake and .004 for the exhaust is com mon practice. The adjustment is gener ally made by means of a nut and lock nut. as shown in the illustration* on this page. KEEPS BEARINGS TIGHT. Supplying the engine with plenty of oil will generally keep it quiet for a much longer time than an engine which fs de prived of a proper amount of lubrieataion. If the engine is not properly lubricated the pistons wear, and in bad cases will score, causing the compression to be come leakv arid the pistons to develop a slap. Often times the piston rings will break and cause a knock in the engine, and will also score the cylinder wall. The bearings can be kept tight by ad justment. the usual manner of adjust ment being the removal of shims from between th< two halves of the noisy hearing. When a shim is removed, the ng 'an then Im* closed up tight -r. These shims are very thin strips of metal, and one or more shims are removed for the purpose of securing the proper de gree of tightness . . , When the engine becomes so bad that It develops a knock attention should be given to the loose point at once. A knock always comes frrtm play nt some point where it should not exist, and knocks are, as a rule, cumulative; that Is. they be come worse snd worse ns time goes on. and very often the result of a neglected knock Is disastrous. NOISE IN TIMER. Noise will also often develop in the timing gear The timing gear case on most engines Is lubricated from the same supply of oil whldh takes care of the rest of the bearings. As a matter of common practice the oil reservoir is in the bottom • the crankcase, which is called the oil pan. and a leak from the pump will gen erally distribute a supply of oil over the timing gears. Naturally, if the oil in the crankcase is allowed to become low the timing gears do not get thotr proper sup ply and wejir rapidly. Normal wear al ways results In the timing gears, and on all "engines which use the spur-gear type of pinions noise is very common. The spiral type of gears, which give a sliding rather than a pounding engagement, are becoming verv common as are nlao silent chains for driving the timing gears, thus eliminating what used to be the most usual cause of noise on the engine, Noise in the engine often develops from the bolts which hold the engine to the sub-frame or main frame to the chassis becoming loose. This causes fin engine to pound, especially on rough roads, and will often give rise to a knock which is blamed on the crankshaft or connecting rod hearings, but which is in reality due to this looseneaa of the motor-holding bolts BUILD ROADS PERMANENTLY , SAYS OFFICIAL "Hundred* of million* of dollar* will *oon 1"' spent on our highways.
