Small Engines
The Small Engines class took a test over Compression on Friday and will be continuing to dig deeper into the L-Head and OHV Small Engine. Students had a lab of removing and installing intake and exhaust valves and will continue to become familiar with engine parts and functions in preparation for taking an engine all the way down to the block and then re-assemble to running condition again. Focus this week is on ignition systems, including points, condensers, and magnetron systems.
