Log XXXIII - Artemis 1 (Yard Part 4)

Let's take a look at my 'new' engines.

 The mechanic claimed that all the parts are original including the oil and fuel filter.

 Air compressor and retention tank

 Turbo and air filter

 Flywheel housing

 Exhaust manifold

 Fuel injection pump

Yup, the engines did not look that spectacular but this was what I could get with limited budget. And by the way, I have to change the generator to diesel model too.

The old generator being lifted out from the generator compartment.

The 'new' generator is also pre-owned. The sound insulation had all become powdery so I started this  mini side project to replace all the sound insulation foam.

 
I ordered a roll of insulation foam and cut out the shapes by following the existing one.

Back to the yard...
The new engine being installed using a lorry crane.

The engines in their new home.

After the new engines were installed and the shaft connected to the flywheel, the boat was lowered back into the water to get ready for the next phase - sea trials.
