Default Re: The Engine Assembly Line

Cool. I loved the guy who was inspecting the crank journals with gauge, and then another guy comes to check the accuracy of his gauge against a master block, and gives him a replacement gauge to use. The engine was built to close tolerances. Also loved the guy tightening the main bearing caps with a double handle wrench. No torque wrenches used. Just a wrench with a long enough handle that a man of average strength could tighten the bolt to the proper tightness with two grunts.
