71) If the valve clearances are excessively large, the problem that can arise is

overheating of the engine

incomplete valve closure

fouling of spark plug by gasoline

none of these

Answer is:

incomplete valve closure

72) The valve tappet clearance is measured by

screw pitch gauge

engineering scale

feeler gauge

vernier caliper

Answer is:

feeler gauge

Explanation:

Feeler gauges are used:
– To check the gap between the mating parts
– To check and set the spark plug gaps
– To set the clearance between the fixture (setting block) and the cutter/tool for machining the jobs
– To check and measure the bearing clearance, and for many other purposes where a specified clearance must be maintained.
