Overhauling a big engine.

As a freelance automechanic i see all kind's of jobs, currently i'm overhauling a 21 years old OM441 with 500.000 miles on it in a bus.

The engine is located behind the front axle.



Rust and conditions have taken their toll



Everything is painted to slow corrosion.



Not the best space to work in:

The most complex systems can fail in the simplest way.
Contra verbosus noli contendere verbis, sermo datur cunctis, animi sapientia paucis.
