Today we worked on the engine reassembly process. Over the weekend we almost completely reassembled the engine. We put all the parts on and had none left over except for a few covers which are not needed. We also tested if our engine is working by testing the spark. We unplugged the spark plug and then span the flywheel. When we did the is we got some spark. We will put some oil in the engine. We also got a fuel can and we need to build a stand so when we try to start the engine the driveshaft which is on the bottom of the engine can spin. We also worked on our presentation slideshow which we added things like what we achieved and what challenges we faced. On Friday we are going to start putting things on our science board. We are also going to work and hopefully finish the manual. We are going to put the photos and short descriptions from the engine disassembly manual on the board so people can look at the parts and see what they are and what they do.
