SQ14 Slider Injector Valves

This week I learned how to put together and test slider injector valves. On the slider valves I was working on we replaced everything but the safety relief portion on it. On the safety relief I took it apart, cleaned it, put a new spring in and placed it all back together.

SQ14 Rebuilding Engines

These past few weeks I have been really busy and learning a lot at Transmarine. I got back into Washington from Poland a few weeks back. Poland was a great experience working on the main engine on a ship. I worked on cleaning cylinder heads, liners, pistons, and check the cross head and connecting rod bearings. After I got back into Washington I started learning how to clean smaller cylinder heads, taking out valve seats, cleaning and resurfacing valves, honing cylinder liners, and starting to learn how to use the lathe machine. Here are some pictures of some of the things I have been doing.

While I was in the job in Poland the ship was getting a lot of other work done by the ship yard. Here are some of the pictures from some of the work they were doing.

After work we got to walk around Gdańsk, Poland and see some of the things close to our hotel. I will put up a few photos of Poland too.
