A. K.
Overheating may be due to clogged
radiator or failure of pump. etc., but it
may be caused by the driver running
the car on low gear. Blue smoke is
due to oil ,and black smoke is due to
ho much gasoline. If spark plugs are
favored with oil. then the level may
be too high. or the oil too thin. Scor-
ed cylinders or defective piston rings
mar also cause it. - '
