Unanswered Questions

If you ask the students what class they look forward to the most it would have to be Engines Class. This class will provide the answers to many of their questions. Here are a few examples:
1. What is inside of an engine?
2. What makes it run?
3. How many pieces does it have?
4. Where does this go?
5. Do I have to read the book?
6. Where does this go?
7. Is it clean enough?
8. When can I start it?
9. What do i need a schematic for?
10. Will this ever run again?

Of course the instructors will have a few questions of their own. For example:
1. Do you have the correct mounting bolts?
2. Did you check the head bolt torque and valve lift before you took the head off?
3. What is the rod and main bearing clearance?
4. Did you read the book?
5. Do you see anything wrong with the work you just completed?
6. Did you read the book?
7. Are you going to get this done in time?
8. Do you have oil pressure?
9. Do you know you have to make a wiring harness before this will run?
10. Will it run again?

Judging by the past I am happy to report that in about 7 weeks the answer to question number 10 will be???
