You should caliper the cylinders and
pistons in order to ascertain it' they
are true. ['90 micrometers. and. if
they are not true, the cylinders
should he rehored. “’hen this is
done, new pistons and rings are nec.
essary to complete the work properly.
The clearance at the top of the piston
is usually two-thousandth of an inch
to each inch of cylinder bore. At the

HELPFUL HINTS.
Tire mileage can be greatly in-
creased by careful handling of the
car. If the driver starts and stops
his car with a jerk, and tries to turn
corners on two wheels. he can soon
expect blow-outs. It is' estimated that
by careful' driving one may increase
tire mileage fully 30 per cent.
Remember that 2 tire with too
much air loses all the benefits of a
pneumatic tire. One literally “rides
ion air." but if the. tires are. overlo-
'i‘ated. the. car will ride hard and the
jmechanism will receive a severe jolt—
:ing that will tend to shorten its life.
