For testing temperature, which component does the Tempilstik indicate on?

• A. Journal Bearing Housing
• B. Wheel flange
• C. Brake shoe lining
• D. Engine intake manifold

Answer: (A)

Tempilstik is a temperature-indicating device used to gauge bearing temperature. It’s placed on the journal bearing housing because the bearing’s heat is conducted to the housing, so the mark or melt point on the housing reliably reflects the bearing temperature. Placing it on a wheel flange, brake shoe lining, or engine intake manifold wouldn’t give an accurate reading of the bearing’s condition. Therefore, the correct location for the Tempilstik is the journal bearing housing.
