Diesel Engine Theory - CANCELED

Dates

May 29, June 5, 12, 19 & 26, 2010
<p> Join the engineers and get your hands dirty while fixing the Arthur Foss’ 700 horsepower diesel engine. This 70-year-old engine uses the same principles as modern diesels, but the parts are MUCH bigger and easier to work on. The 2010 session focuses on overhauling cylinder one; participants will inspect previous repair work, pull the cylinder head and piston (18 inches in diameter!) and perform repairs under the supervision of experienced diesel mechanics. No prior engine experience necessary. Cost includes daily lunch. </p> <p> THIS CLASS HAS BEEN CANCELED, BUT MAY BE RESCHEDULED FOR THE FALL. </p>
