How I spent my Tuesday...

Mr. Red Pony · February 16th, 2011, 09:11 AM

Got first place in district competition for auto skills. Won an impact wrench, a set of combination wrenches, and a chance at state competition. Ya.

Congrats.

BWAL · February 16th, 2011, 09:32 AM

what'd you have to do to win?

XectriK · February 16th, 2011, 09:39 AM

Those things are usually like problem solving skills.

Mr. Red Pony · February 16th, 2011, 12:12 PM

Name tools. Name parts. Install a valve cover gasket. Test injectors. Calculate ring and pinion gear ration. Name suspension parts. Read an alignment and say what it would do. Scan a vehicle for codes and determine wether it will set a MIL. Measure a crank journal and rod journal and determine if it needs machined. Decode a VIN. Measure resistors. Measure voltage drops. Use shop key to find specs. Measure lateral runout on a rotor. And measure pinion backlash.

It was fun.

Mr. Red Pony · February 16th, 2011, 12:13 PM

Oh, and measure a rotor and drum and determine if they are in spec.

Mustang Boy · February 16th, 2011, 12:25 PM

sounds like a walk in the park to me

Blue point long anvil. The wrenchs are napa :/ I'll probably trade the impact for some swivel impact sockets.

For real.

Mustang Boy · February 16th, 2011, 12:36 PM

blue point is a decent brand, as for the napa wrenches hold on to them and keep em at the house for side jobs, you can probably do the same with the blue point impact

Mr. Red Pony · February 16th, 2011, 01:04 PM

Ya. It has stubies that I can use instead of cutting good ones. Lol I have an IR heavy duty short anvil at work.

Mustang Boy · February 16th, 2011, 01:17 PM
