Tune-Up No. 2 is Called Vital,
Here’s the Why and How of It
Take your car to your
service station and ask the
attendant to give your car
“Tune-Up Number 2” and
he’ll probably look at you
and scratch his head. He
knows about tune-ups, but
he probably doesn’t know
about "the second tune-
up.”
Yet “Tune-Up No. 2” is
a vital part of your car’s
maintenance, one that’s
long overdue in most cars.
Tune-Up No. 2 is simply
a thorough inspection and
check of all the compo-
nents in your car’s cooling
system and replacement
of those parts that are
worn or malfunctioning.
It is a cooling system tune-
up.
Why is it important? To
understand the need for a
cooling system tune-up,
we must first look at the
function of the system.
The cooling system keeps
the operating temperature
of the engine at a level at
which it will perform at
top efficiency.
Keeping Its Cool
To accomplish this task,
automobile manufacturers
have developed the pres-
surized cooling system
which allows special cool-
ants (not water) to rise
well above the ordinary
boiling point without
“boiling over.” The cooling
system on the average au-
tomotive engine must be
able to withstand in ex-
cess of 17 pounds of pres-
sure combined with under-
hood and coolant temper-
atures that range from
278° F. to 300° F.
These higher tempera-
tures and pressures put
tremendous strains on all
cooling system compo-
nents — hoses, V-belts,
water pump, thermostat,
radiator cap.
It takes only one of
these key parts to fail or
malfunction to cause the
engine to overheat with
costly internal engine
damage as the likely re-
sult.
If you are driving a late
model car and it’s been
more than a year since
you’ve had your cooling
system checked, you’re
overdue for trouble. You’re
ready for "Tune-Up No. 2.”
It’s Worth It
The cost of a cooling
system tune-up is rela-
tively small compared to
the potential savings you
could realize by prevent-
ing a costly break-down or
expensive engine repairs.
A cooling system tune-up
normally takes about an
hour and a half to accom-
plish and it carries a nom-
inal flat rate of $16.00 plus
parts.
If your service station
man or garage mechanic
doesn’t know about “Tune-
Up No. 2,” ask him to
check his Flat Rate Man-
ual or have him contact
The Gates Rubber Com-
pany, 999 South Broadway,
Denver, Colorado 80217 for
complete information on
cooling system tune-ups.

SHOULD YOUR SERVICE STATION attendant look
puzzled when you ask him for a Tune-Up No. 2 check-
up, just hand him this list. Run over it first to familiar-
ize yourself with what needs to be done.
