Last week started with finishing the assembly of the Chrysler engine we have been working on for the past couple weeks. The rest of the week was filled with general service tasks such as oil changes, pump impeller services, coolant flushes, stuffing box service, revamping exhaust systems and all around engine maintenance. I learned how to adjust an RPM gauge on a Volvo Penta (alternator signaled) by programming the number of points in the alternator then graphing the difference in RPM's, at idle, 1000, 1500, 2000, 2500 and 3000, between the dashboard gauge and a photo tach and then adjusting accordingly. It was a very interesting thing to learn. I documented a total of 37.4 hours this week for a grand total of 316.27.

Rocker arms on.
Worn out seawater impeller. In the case that blades are actually missing, it is responsible to track the missing pieces down in the seawater circuit so they dont cause a restriction in the flow.
Gotta love working in the tight quarters of a sailboat.
This is an oil spill recovery machine we build and sell.
