Simplest and most trouble-free type of motor ever invented.

It has the most distactive and gracefully balanced body of any car

UnKecessary.

The Kaight motor is stena principle. The valves are two cylindrical sleeves with reelingular slots or ports which when they register with each other and the ports in the block allow the ingress and serves of the gases without abstraction. These wide open, passages, particularly on the exhaust side, permit more thorough cleaning of the bart games from the combustion chamber than any other type of motor, so that every ounce of energy available. utilizes from the explosive misure, which gives us such, tremendous power:))-

-It has no valve to grind and no carbon to clean.

Tis combustion chamber is completely surrounded by water and an alloy piston noted for its great he -radiating qualities is used so neither the combustion chamber nor the head of the piston gets hot eneigh to bake the residue freon the exposed gases to form carbon while there is still enough heat maintains to handle the explosive mistame efectively.

It is the only type of motor that improves with use.

While carbon can not form in the corabustion chamber, still a curtain amount of the residue from the burnt gases works up behind the wide seating ring in the cylinder head and, as this building in process obtains, it keeps pushing this sealing ring matu tightly against the inner levenstil it completely seals the compression chamber, developing more power with every mild the motor is drawn:

4-It is the only type of motor that wears in while other wears ont.

All parts in the Willys-Knight car any assembled with wide clearance between each other and oil is forced into the clearancea under heavy pressure so that the entire assembly is laying or wearing in on these heavy films of oil instead of wearing out. In other words, every bearing in this motor is an oil bearing instead of a metal to metal bearing which is necessary in the construction of a poppet valve motor in order to keep it quiet with subsequent quick

It has eliminated one hundred and sixty two quick wearing parts necessary in the operation of a cylinderel poppet valve motor. There are no hammering parts such an am striking against push rods, push rods against valve stems, or valve heads, snapping back into their seats through the medium of heavy springs, etc.
