Jarred Week 3

The Removal of the Engine

Since my partner, Zach, was away for 3 to 4 days, I worked on other matters such as the remains of the engine that I was working on along with all of it's parts.

Anything that was on the engine that was on it(bolts, screws, etc) were removed by unscrewing or even cutting the pieces off if refusing to come off.

The parts were then separated into categories to determine there usability. All screws, bolts, and nuts were to go into a bin with all the collected bolts and screws. I only put in some of the long ones while throwing the rest out into the junk van.

Parts that were made out of aluminum were to be separated from all the other parts that were made out of plastic or iron. The reason was is that it's much more valuable to be thrown into a junkyard and can be recycled to be reused.

All the metal or plastic parts that were left were to be thrown into the junk van(including the cylinder heads). The engine block itself is to be reused so it's put onto a cart where all the aluminum is stacked at.

The next day we started to remove the engine of the camper out of it by using a crane that can lift the engine out of it's position so that we can replace it. It required everyone to help out with it a as to check if nothing was getting caught on the engine and to make sure that all pipes or other devices were removed.

I also helped with other small things such as putting on new licence plates on a car so that the owner could be able to drive to where ever they need to to go to.
