Overhead Lubrication
To obtain utmost efficiency from any Engine, whether
stationary or Automotive, every moving part must receive full
measure of the right type of lubrication as every part means
r every wearing part, and replacement of parts is expensive.
; The overhead of the Automotive Engine, especially the
Valve in Head type is that part of the motor farthest from the
Jower crank case meaning top piston ring and rocker arm assem
bly, the latter receiving too little attention as in most makes of
Valve in Head Motors the rocker arm assembly is eilclosed, it be
ing popularly supposed the push rods and rocker arms are lubri
cated from the mist churned up from the lower 'crank case,
which would be sufficient if the viscousity of the lubricant was
not being pounded out with every throw of the crankshaft, it is
therefore recommended by most manufacturers that the cover
be removed every five hundred miles, and rocker arms and push
rods thoroughly oiled with fresh full bodied oiK
The lubrication of the top or overhead ,of the piston ap
plies to all makes of cars, excessive wear starting at the upper
piston ring and continuing on down the cylinder wall from one
and several causes in one, lubrication, oil of too light a body to
sustain the pressure in passage up the cylinder wall, too heavy
for force of the oil* pump or splash of the connecting rod, or, too
poor in body to do more than moisten the oil crevices in the
piston, resulting in an almost dry top dead centre.
Bring your car to lubricating economists for service.
