    Picked up 6 MEP-802A gensets and will be documenting making them all runners here

    You might want to mic the cylinders and pistons after you get all the honing done you are planning to do. You could end up with some piston skirt slap if you hone too much out of the cylinders.

    That is very impressive! I'm wondering though, did the guy with the broom get a little too close? I wouldn't want the job of sweeping under those cables! That looks like a metal handled broom too!

    HAHA! Now that's how you explain a problem to someone who doesn't have the background to understand! You educated him very quickly! LOL

    I'm sure he's right too! I bet just walking through the room with the cables, you can feel the hair on your arms and head move around! That's some serious power! Do you know how many kilovolts they are putting on those cables?

    I bet that woke you up! You're lucky it didn't get you good! Only thing I can think of more dangerous than what we did is being a lineman for the power company! Many years ago I was working on grounding near some 440 3 phase in an xray generator. Someone turned the breaker on while I was...

    Wow, now that's pretty scarry! I have a lot of respect for Lightning since I used to work with high voltage. It does what it wants to!

    I lived through the migration to black box while working in the medical X-Ray diagnostic field. The private companies thought it was a good idea to drive it to a black box method of maintenance because they intended to dumb down the job to the point any delivery guy with no training or...

    I did make it to Erlangen for a training course at Siemens AG in 1994. We visited a few cities such as Kronach and Forcheim. I was just starting to enjoy it when it was time to come home.

    I totally agree with you on this one. That's why I got out of medical xray. You can't really test or fix anything on the new stuff. You just throw parts at it and those parts are very expensive. Even if you do put the part in a known good machine for test, sometimes the issues are...

    It will also make it smoke like a coal burning steam engine. I recently had an engine that had some water in the crank case. It ran good and had good power but smoked so bad it would fill the neighborhood with white smoke in a few minutes. This was caused by one small rust pit in the...
