assesment

on Tuesday the 13th we did an assessment on an engine... we worked in groups of 3 and each one participated. what we did was strip and engine completely and measured the diameter of cylinder 1 and then measured the main bearing and the big end bearing of the crankshaft, for this measuring we used a micrometer. we then out the engine back together and it was a good feeling to get it all back in one piece especially considering it was my first time stripping an engine. it was lots of fun and i enjoyed working on an engine... lets hope it runs :/
