The Performance of Antique Car Engines
By Peter Salmonford
It is often assumed that when an engine is new it gives its maximum power, but in actuality this is not the case. At the outset the bearings are tight and the bearing surfaces comparatively rough, and it is not until the engine has run some months that the highest power is developed. It is not to be assumed that up to this period the engine gradually increases in power, but that a higher power can be obtained from an engine after being well run in than when it is new.
In actual practice the engine gradually gives less and less power unless it receives the necessary small amount of attention to keep it up to its best pitch. The cause of this is a gradual loss of compression, chiefly owing to the burning away or pitting of the valves and their seats, the remedy for which is regrinding. Valve-grinding is a somewhat laborious process, but it is one which generally effects considerable improvement in the engine’s running, and it should be made a periodic practice, and not be left till the engine is running very badly, as the necessary grinding will then be somewhat difficult.
If a valve is examined it will be found that it has a flat angular surface on the underside of the head, and this surface rests upon a similar conical surface, called the valve seat, formed in the cylinder head. These two surfaces must be absolutely true and smooth so as to prevent any gas leakages when the valve is closed by the valve spring.
When the exhaust valve is opened the exhaust gas, which is an intensely hot flame, passes between these two conical surfaces, making them practically red hot, which is their normal condition during running of the engine. It is hardly surprising, therefore, that in course of time the surfaces deteriorate, and the necessity for regrinding can be ascertained from an inspection of the valve and its seat. If smooth and bright all round, the valve is in good order. If dirty and rough, it requires regrinding. When loss of power is experienced, to ascertain if it is due to loss of compression, the engine should be turned round slowly, with the switch off, and if the resistance on the compression stroke is not what it was when the engine was new, it is clear that there is a leakage somewhere, and the exhaust valve should then be examined as mentioned. Possibly only one or two of the valves are at fault, so the compression in each cylinder in turn should be tested in this way.
Before a valve is ground in it is, of course, necessary to remove it, and this, with its replacement, forms probably the most difficult part of valve grinding, on account of the stiffness of the valve spring, coupled with the fact that the parts are generally difficult of access, on account of the presence of the piping, etc.

The Right Side Of The Road Isn’t Always The Correct One
By Daniel Millions
When most people hear about cars driving on the left side of the road, they associate this unique driving situation to all of Europe. However, driving on the left side of the road is mostly a British custom. The rest of Europe drives on the right side of the side, while many of the former British colonies follow their original law. Some of the other countries driving on the left side of the road is most of southern Africa, Japan, and Australia. About one-third of the world population drives on the left side of the road.
Why is it that in some countries you drive on the left side of the road, and in other countries you drive on the right side of the road? Originally, in ancient times, nearly all of the countries traveled on the left side of the roadway. However, once Napoleon began conquering the world, he required that his new countries conform to his homeland France and travel on the right side of the road.
In most cases, the differences between left and right handed driving cars are completely symmetrical. In cars the drive on the right side of the road, the driver’s seat and steering wheel are on the left side. On the other hand, the driver’s seat is position on the right side of vehicles in countries where the law is to drive on the left side of the road. Similarly, passing, turns against oncoming traffic, and traffic signs all take part of the opposite side of the road.
When talking about the flow of traffic, drivers in the United States drive in “right-hand traffic.” However, they drive “left-hand vehicles.” It’s a very important to distinguish the difference. These terms are quite easy to confuse with each other. An uninformed driver could create an unfortunate accident, so it’s important to take special notice in areas the law may be different.
Typically, it’s not possible to license a car that is orientated incorrectly. Aside from tourists, it’s illegal to drive a car that’s built for the wrong side of the road. An exception to this are many countries where the driving law has recently been changed. In many cases, incorrectly orientated cars are not only illegal to drive, but also illegal to sell. The exception to this law is when the vehicle is considered an antique or exotic car.
There are a couple exceptions and interesting scenarios that may take place due to this law. One exception to the law is the postal service. In the United States, the steering wheel placed on the right side, and the vehicle drives on both sides of the road as it delivers the mail and packages. Garbage trucks, road cleaners, and law enforcement vehicles are also allowed to drive against the regular flow of traffic when considered necessary. Another fascinating conflict with that comes with opposite lanes of driving is traveling through foreign countries. In some scenarios, it may be required to switch back and forth between lanes.
For most people, driving on the correct side of the road isn’t too big of a challenge. However, it’s certainly an interesting bit of trivia and is definitely important information for world travelers. You never know when you may find yourself driving down the roads of Australia, or crossing the border from France into the United Kingdom.
