So our Jasper sales rep invited me to go on a plant tour today, got to the airport at about 5 am and jumped in their plane for a flight to Indiana. Learned a lot of cool stuff about how they do things and got to see some really interesting things. I figured you guys would enjoy seeing some of it. ;D
First off, brand spanking new King Air twin prop plane was stupid nice, leather seats, ipod radio hookups, blah blah, 400+ mph got us there in about 1.5 hours from Birmingham to southern Indiana.
We started off checking out some of the automatic tranny rebuilds.
Here are all the components cleaned/rebuilt and new, ready to be installed into a case.
Assembled trans getting painted.
Getting hooked up on a dyno, which is a big electric engine, and being run to make sure it works properly.
Core cases disassembled and being cleaned up for inspection.
Got rods?
They check out the engine blocks, heads, rods, cranks, and cams and after machine work, boring, sleaving, grinding, ect. these parts get reused if possible. Everything else is new.
Here is a stack of rebuilt heads, all the valves get a 3 angle job and are checked for leakage, correct spring pressure, ect.
