I'm in a bigger shop now.

310 hours for internship 

SAFETY FIRST

 

 

This week my shop crew and i have been moving our stuff from our smaller shop to a much bigger shop. Western refinery service used to make coverall buildings so they built one for real cheap. This new shop has a hydraulic room,two cranes each being two tons,welding/fabricating area. I think its a great shop. There are some bugs too get worked out " the oil lube pumps are a 1 to 9 ratio if you do the math 120 psi multiplies up quick. The 200 psi rated hoses are bursting from time too time. lots of fun cleaning 15w30!

260 hours

got too work one day and my tool box got a lift kit

           Tis this is a picture of a Sculley plug The grounds will play mind tricks on you. There was a plug i did a while back that i replaced, and put a new ground wire too. our tester still read BAD ground. It turned out too be the Sculley plug mount was not grounded. this happened because thies systems use two different sourses of ground. DONT WANT A SPARK AROUND 4000 gallons of fuel!!! 

Half a can of starting fluid.....??? What were they thinking?

This week i asked to take on a little bigger project. Some colleges of mine have been using a man lift but for the past couple weeks the motor has been making a little more nose then a diesel should. About a week ago they were trying to start it and of course not being mechanic's they went through half a can of starting fluid. Now the motor is done. Iv been doing some research on the motor, its a Lambardini Two cylinder the company was bought out by koler. I still have some more research to do but my plan is to have the injectors sent in too north land diesel, check valve adjustment and compression then go from there.

hours....I honestly have not been keeping track but i have been working 40 plus hours every week since iv been out of my fall classes.
