Engine Stripping Day 3

Today in the workshop we learnt about measuring the cam lobes and the crankshaft, I measured four intake and four exhaust valves to get an understanding of the difference in size. I started to measure the bore, measuring the TDC, middle and BDC of each bore to check for Ovality and Taper. We also learnt about Core Plugs and how to check for coolant in the engine, as well as touching on the workings of the starter motor and flywheel. Tomorrow I will finish measuring the bore and then continue on to measure the piston rings. Really enjoying this course, the information intake is a bit full on especially the paperwork, but I'm getting through it and thoroughly enjoying every minute in the workshop.
