Today I dove, head first into the caterpillar engine (the final project) and I have several pictures but sadly my IPod has died so I can’t post any of my pictures until tomorrow. I also have almost reassembled the engine I helped disassemble and measure the specs of with my team. I also have several of those pictures. I have not disassembled an engine before so a lot of these things are a first to me and I have learned so much. I learned how to use a valve spring compressor. I also learned how to use a cylinder liner puller. Also this week I brushed up on my (non-digital) micrometer ability. I also have to admit I had no idea what axial flywheel run-off was or how to measure the bore using a dial indicator but now I do.
Also this weekend I started replacing my clutch, fluids, belts (including the timing) filters, spark plugs and wires and distributor cap and rotor, CV axles and wheel bearings, I should be done today. I would also like to note that I have completed both the engine research assignment and the engine specification measurements sheet for our engine I am just unable to post them because as I said, my IPod is dead. There will be more tomorrow.
Hours this week: 38
