Diesel particulate filter link

http://www.fsxinc.com/site1/video/video.html  I was on the Navistar website and I came across this link to a great video I do recommend everyone to watch the cleaning process on a DPF.This week I mostly was navigating on the Navistar website it is a great library of information I found out all the manuels and researched my homework easily there.I learned that having the acsess to this site is greatest tool of all.Total hours for the week ending 10/27/2012 are 40

week ending 10/20/2012 40 hours

This week was a great learning experience I worked on the Cummings engine with Don and Stephanie and installed the injectors and tubing to the pump .I also installed the exhaust and fuel filter system and the water cooler and turbo.we have cleaned all the rust off of most of the coolant lines and brackets that hold other parts on the engine. My goal is to star the engine next month by the 12 of November and  hear it run and get it ready to deliver to the owner .Work at Williams was very interesting also we worked on the Clarke oil pressure issues and hopefully can get them fixed this week  total hours work and school 40

reporting on the lithal strike

The video teaches us that not all injuries are visible at first .Although a person may seem like he or she has had some minor injury, it could very well be a life threatening incident.The mechanic had an oil  injection injury, amputation could be needed if not attended  by a Doctor within the first six hours. All injuries  whether small or big need to be reported and looked at asap .Sometimes being a Mr tuff guy could kill you.The video teaches us the importance of reporting and making sure every accident is attended to properly and to take every injury serious because they could be lethal.The mechanic was lucky he only lost 2 fingers ,he could have lost alot more like his life .Be cautious and alert about safety and take injuries serious is what I learned from the video.

Pin Timing a Denso Pump on a Cummins

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnUYMmjUams&feature=context-cha link to a  a great video on how to find timing on your fuel pump. Last week was a great week.Don and Stephanie and I worked on trying to put the c6 8.3 liter marine engine together It has been a good learning project I learned how to gap the valves and find true tdc as Cummings has on their site .Following their specs was simple just be careful not to to force the piston to hard against the valve when you spin the crank .you will feel the piston against the valve.You will have to fabricate a pointer so that it points onto the vibration damper so that you can make a mark for reference  when you find tdc after that spin counter clockwise until you feel the valve again remark it then divide that distance between the two marks and that is your true tdc  also when you find tdc don't forget to reset the number 1piston  gap to its specs. I learned the steps and set the timing on the engine so that i could install the NippoDenso pump which also needs to be timed to the book specs i included a l;ink to the video that was on the web  I thought he did a good job explaining the process so I used it hope you all watch it and use the Cummings web site to learn the steps it surely helped me.

 My hours in the shop and work are 50

International Automotive Technicians Network is powerful info

ship from south Africa we loaded turbines on to

!20 ton Crane at the port in Esberg Denmark  loading gear heads from a wind turbine Marks father Bjorne operates it .

 

Steam turbine has 520 k hp

 

Setting the load onto the ship

Raul next to 9-t  used to push coal into the hopper at Dong Energy

International Automotive Technicians Network .The more knowledge you have the better.I also enjoy reading  David Lieghton' s post of the Whatcom chief .David is one of the fortunate ones in our class .He has had the opportunity to work on different engines and is exposed to many scenarios where it takes allot of thought to be able to pull the engines out of very confined spaces.I guess I have been fortunate because at Williams there is definitely  space around the engines that is one of the reasons I have  decided to focus on stationary engines.Iam a big guy who probably would  not fit in the engine room of a sailboat like  the Aqavit where David worked on the Perkins engine last week.I really enjoy reading his post.Thanks for the great info David keep up the Good work. Last week I finished up installing the side doors to the compressors on number six engine while my co worker changed the oil filters on the Clark tcv 12 which has over a hundred of them .I worked on my electrical panel and auto schematics .I worked total class room and internship 40 hours
