Overhauling Engine.

In order to improve the efficiency of the engine, we decided to perform an overhaul on the engine. Of course, it's a DIY overhaul. Bought 5 liters of diesel just to soak the engine parts for a few days (Update: It is still being soaked till today!). It wasn't not an easy job as the cardon deposits were thick and refuses to come off no matter how hard we scrubbed for days. It's a really really old engine...

The nuts & bolts are kept away.

No, it's not cooking oil. It's diesel.

Investigation #2

Today it's all about engine engine engine! So much to learn about engine. Moreover, we plan to improve the efficiency of the engine so it will reduce the fuel consumption. A few factors that we have considered were compression ratio, reducing idle RPM, manipulating the gear ratio, and fine tuning the carburator.

Investigation #1

Our seniors actually built something similar to what we are going to build! Without thinking twice, we went and investigate the said vehicle to have a better idea of our vehicle.

Looks simple huh?
