BUICK CAR ENGINE
VALVE-IN-HEAD CONSTRUCTION. The Buick. valve-in-head construction permits of easy access to the valve mechanism for inspection, oiling and adjustment. Simply by removing the top engine cover these parts arc exposed to view. This feature is of particular advantage to the motorist who wishes to take care of the minor adjustments and lubrication of his automobile. The slight effort required is more than repaid by tli© fact that the car is maintained at tho height of efficiency. Mofet motorists have reached the conclusion that oil is cheap in comparison with the results that it assures, and they are liberal in its use on their cars. Valve stems, particularly, repay the smalL amount of attention necessary for them. Paraffin liberally applied with a small oil can and left overnight will clear away any small accumulations, and •lubricating oil applied in the same way 'on the following morning will keep the Valve stems working smoothly and efficiently. Rocker arm bushing l ? and ball ends of push-rods are lubricated from the hollow rocker arms shafts. These shafts are easily lubricated through the oil holes provided. Valve lifters at the lower ends jOf push-rods require no oiling, as they are taken care of by the splash inside the crank case. Maintaining proper clearance between the rocker arms and valve stems is important to the motorist who wishes to keep his car in the best of trim.
