ENGINE
Description. The Chevrolet six cylinder valve-in-head truck
engines are the prime factor in Chevrolet's outstanding per-
formance and economy. They are designed to give l ong trouble-
free life. Chevrolet's four-way engine lubrication system pro-
vides the correct amount of lubr ication to all moving parts .
Full stroke length water jackets, su rroundin g all cylinders,
provide uniform cooling and prevent cy linder distortion which
wou ld cause undue wear and poor oil economy.
The water passages in the cylinder block and cylinder head
properly direct the fl ow of wate r- to provide unifonn cooling of
the engine (fig. 25).
Care. The engine oil level s hould be checked each time fuel
is
purchased and oil added w hen necessary. (See Lubri ca tion
Section.)
The engine should be inspected occasionally for oil
and water l eaks and the necessary repairs made. Keep the
engine clean externally.
Valve
Tappet Adjustment. Valve tappet adjustment shou ld be
c hecked when the engine is thoroughly warmed UP. preferably
