Random PICTURE of the day thread *KEEP IT WORK SAFE*

Shoulda called him Odie with that tongue. Gawdamn!

LOL! It's gotta be the head-on angle... it normally doesn't look so freakshow-ish. We had just gotten back from a long walk and he walked in and plopped down on the first spot of cold tile he could find. Apparently he was warm.

Bottom left looks like bad job on the saftey wiring.

I find a lot of stuff just like that every day.

not gonna lie, I don't really miss slinging iron working on those things

Shit, I don't doubt it.

Some of the worst shit I've seen was the PMs on the NG compressor engines.

I had a ****** guy call me one day and the conversation went kinda like this:

Him: "Hey, just thought you should know about this, you know, in case some engines start grenading... off the record, yeah?"

Me: "Totally. What's up?"

Him: "Turns out some of our field service guys are fucking lazy. Rather than do a proper PM and change the oil and filter they've realized that they can just turn the filter 1/4 turn, wipe a clean spot, write a new date on it, check the dipstick, and be on their way."

Me: "So you're telling me engines are going 4 times their service intervals"

Him: "Ummmmm... yes."

Me: "LMFAO."

not gonna lie, I only set the valves on my 8.3 C's ever 3rd PM

but only because I NEVER set them on any of my 5.9's and they ran perfectly!

i wanna try to find a video of this but don't even know what to search for



i know it's from a dam power plant but that's about it

[grove rat]

What hour intervals?

I think the O&M manual on the 8.3 says check overhead at every 250 hrs or so. With the 98% up-time the compression guys want, that's an overhead check every ~10.5 days. Does anyone really do that?

our bible said every month... but those pieces of shit never ran 98%! LOL

but really I probably set the valves ever 2-3 months. I realize it's more an indicator of wear vs. a consumable like oil/filters/etc. But I was lazy about valves... Like I said, I was always lazy about it on my personal trucks. It was never an issue every time I checked it

awesome

that would be cool as hell to see in person. pretty loud i bet
