Test Bed


Here is a cylinder head for one of the Warsilla generators which generate all the power used here at site.  It is one of twelve heads on each generator with this particular generator going through its planned rebuild cycle.  The cylinder head is on its test stand with a jig in place covering all of the water jacket ports and then the water jacket is pressurized to ensure there are no leaks (see gauge).  the head has 4 valves---the intakes have stainless seats and the exhaust have carbide seats.

An in case you were wondering how big the valves were.....
