shop time










Week ending 2/19/2012:  Monday Don and I worked on the install of crank shaft for the c6 /8.3 liter marine engine.  My truck had been giving me trouble when ideling, it wanted to die at times.  I pulled it in to the bay and plugged the snap on computer to it and found no codes except a transmission code.  Jeff guided me in the direction of checking the battery under load.  The battery cells were gone and I replaced the battery.  Replacing the battery solved the problem and I know now to check that first then go from there.  Above you will see 3 videos of the c6 and how to install the crank and torque procedures.  We  spent the next 3 days on installing the piston packs and research. I also fabricated a side  door for my  utility trailer and spent 8 hours on saturday finishing  the welding and painting of my trailer  for a totol of 36  hrs.
