Self-Employed Mechanical Experience;

Custom High Performance Motorcycle Shop (CYCLECRAFT)
General and Performance Automotive Services (MOTOR MASTER)

In owning these shops I have acquired the following
Skills and/or Talents;

General facets of running a business, dealing with
people etc.
Major 4 stroke engine rebuilding
Machining engine components
Modifying engine parts for increased horsepower
Porting and Polishing of Cylinder Heads

which included custom electrical wiring

Experience with gas/air flow testing, I built a
custom Laminar air flow bench for testing of air
flow through the ports of cyclinder heads
(using a Meriam Laminar Air Flow Element)

In building this machine I also wrote a computer
program in Qbasic that did all the math to compute
the actual airflow which took into account actual
sea level at machine location ambient temps. both
inside the room and inside the machine
air density, differential pressure, static pressure
(Meriam inclinded and vertical manometers)

Machines that I have operated;

(this is in the context of the automotive and motorcycle
fields as described in the above Mechanical Experience)

lathes, mills, drill press, LB-1699 sunnen hone,
boring bars, Cylinder head and valve grinding
equipments, band saws, welding machines etc. etc. etc.


I feel that my background/experience and
skills/talents should enable me to access New/Different
