      This weeks reflection.were very educational .  We installed a cam in the C-6 cummins 8.3 Marine engine we have been working on although we ran into some problems with the new crankshaft. The crankshaft  from overseas which was  nicely packaged in a sturdy built crate. It greeted us with rust and pitting on the crankshafts machined surface.  After careful microscopic analysis we determined it could shorten  the life of the engine.Watch the videos and reflect on this weeks lessons.
