air loss. Aloud hissing of air at the carburetor indicates
a leaking intake valve, or valves. Excessive hissing of
air at the oil filler tube (crankcase) indicates an
excessive air leak past the piston rings. Bubbles
observed in the coolant at the radiator indicates a
leaking head gasket
As in vacuum testing, indications are not
conclusive. For instance, a leaking head gasket may
prove to be a cracked head, or bad rings may be a scored
cylinder wall. The important thing is that the source of

required can be made without dismantling the engine.
