Once you have all your materials together proceed with the following steps: 1. Remove the mechanical splice from its protective packaging and load the splice into the assembly tool by pressing firmly at the ends of the splice. Do not depress the raised section on the mechanical splice. 2. Strip approximately 3cm of buffer and/ or coating from the optical fiber using a stripper. 3. Clean the optical fiber by pulling the fiber through a lint- free wipe soaked in optical fiber cleaning fluid. 4. Place the optical fiber in the cleaver, to the length specified by the mechanical splice manufacturer. 5. Cleave the optical fiber. 6. If the gauge is provided, check the cleave length with the gauge. 7. Repeat steps 2 through 6 for the other fiber end to be spliced. 8. Push the other cleaved optical fiber into the other end of the mechanical splice until it stops moving. 10. Place both optical fibers in the clamping mechanisms on the opposite sides of the splicing tool, forming a modified loop in the optical fiber. 11. Pivot the splicing tool handle down until it contacts the top of the splice, then squeeze the tool handle to complete the assembly and lock the spliced ends in place. 12. Remove the optical fibers from the clamping mechanism and lift the mechanical splice from the…
Next, weigh the butane lighter to as close to .001g. Then, submerge the 100mL graduated cylinder completely under the water allowing it to fill completely full, making sure all air bubbles are out of the cylinder. Then, turn the cylinder upside down, keeping the end of the cylinder under water (allowing the water to stay in the cylinder). Next, place the plastic tube on the end of the lighter, and the other end of the tube should be placed up inside the cylinder. Press the lighter so that the Butane goes through the tube and into the cylinder. This should force the water out, and allow the cylinder to fill full of Butane. Fill the cylinder to 80mL of Butane, and release the lighter. Record the volume of Butane in cylinder. Make sure and allow all of the Butane to escape tube before pulling tube out of cylinder. Remove the tube from the cylinder.…
Once you have completed those few steps you are now able to loosen the lug nuts off the wheel studs. That will allow you to now remove the tire wheel assembly. With the removal of the tire, roll it off the side of the car, out of your way. Now, take your spare tire and place the holes in the rim, onto the wheel…
4. The next step is to raise the car using the jack until it is raised fully off the ground. Then remove the wheel lugs completely and set them aside first. Be sure to put them in a secured place so that it will not be lost, you still have to use it after the spare tires are placed.…
Hook up all of the belts and bolts, connect the motor to your battery, and fill the engine with oil and any other fluids such as power steering, transmission, brake, etc. that you removed while the car was without its engine. Once you’ve completed the final touches on your engine, be sure that you have assembled everything correctly; you can check with an engine building guide or manual. After putting the finishing touches on your 383 Stroker motor, finally close the hood, and you are ready for a test drive. I recommend that you take it slow at first, and make sure not to rev past the 2,000 revolution per minute mark. If everything sounds good after a few miles, you can open it up and drive…

Probably the most worrying threat to our planet at the present time is global warming. We burn fossil fuels like coal, oil and natural gas for energy or cut down and burn forests to create pastures and plantations and overloads our atmosphere. This leads to melting pole and changing season. Even though there are numerous ways to tackle the issue, but two stands out: reducing depending on gasoline and recycling.…

You may also want to use a hammer and battery terminal cleaner. First, ensure the engine is off and detach the negative black cable form the old battery. The negative cable can be identified with a minus sign. Use your hands to pull up the ends of the wire. Detach the red positive cable from the battery. The positive terminal has a plus sign. Using a crescent wrench, remove the battery's hold gently- down- clamp. Turn the nuts in a counterclockwise direction using priers. While removing the old battery, check out for crack and leaks. Any leak that contacts your skin may be harmful. The battery can also produce electrical sparks or an explosion that may lead to serious problems. Next, remove the battery from the battery tray using its handles. For batteries without handles, grab from the bottom while taking care since it's a heavy product. Progress to clean any collusion that may be left behind using battery cleaning solution. Use wire brushes to clean the connecting…
