Title: Take a tour of my school shop
Post by: burn_your_money on February 19, 2008, 12:48:32 pm

For those of you who don't know I'm in the Heavy Duty Techniques program at Cambrian College. It's a 2 year program and the first year is pretty basic; and I slack off a lot and don't study but am still doing very well. It's definitely a good program and I have learned a lot.

Anyways, here's some pictures of our shop

There's me and Chris doing our work orders at the end of class

I missed some stuff inside, and all the crap outside as well. I don't know if I'm allowed to have a camera in class so I had to be a bit sneaky

Good stuff. My buddy works as a Power Systems Field Mechanic for Finning and hes always got lots of cool stories and facts about industrial diesels. He brought back a piston from a Cat 3600 natural gas engine a while ago...now thats a big engine! 12" bore  :shock: Piston must have weighed 100lbs

I really wanted to steal one of the toyota 4,5 or 6 cylinder IDIs but I'm not allowed to do that. They threw a bunch out because people don't know how to install cams and they broke them. I think they threw out 6 engines. They have to scrap them, it's part of the conditions when they are donated to the school. Bummer, would have made for a nice swap in a little pickup
