starting my new internship

Started my internship with Hatton Marine on monday, the first day i worked i didnt work on a turbo like i thought i was. but painting some pipes.

i have some pictures of it here as well. the second day i worked on a john deere turbo, sand blasting the casing and such, taking the measurements for the bearings and shaft

Wrapping up Cat3516

Myself and Brennin have been hard at work putting the cylinder of the Cat 3516 back together, first was the liner giving us trouble for some reason, Jeff told us to use a neighboring liner because the ring on ours was cracked and broken off from some one else before us re installing it improperly. Then the piston was a bit easier but we had a hard time getting the connecting rod connected to the crank but we where able to do it and its all good. now just to put the injector and rocker arms back in and finishing it up.

Friday i played a little with flaring tools and all i could get was a single flare. every time i tryed a double flare, i wound up with a single flare or one that was off center.

More practice today and tomorrow on that.

Cant wait to start my internship with Hatton marine on the 10th.
