Engine noises might bo divided Into the following kinds Hissing, dull pounding, knocking, tapping or clicking, grinding or growling, and squeaking The hissing will generally indicate that either the exhaust manifold loose or cracked, allowing the exhaust case to escape at B or F of tho illustration; that thee gases are between valve stem (nd escaping guide at W; or that there is leakage of the exploded gases. This leakage might bo at the spark plug, either through the plug Itself as at A. or threads and gasket AA. past the Tlghtelng or replacing Is the remedy.
