Tight fit at CFFS Esquimalt.

Installation of a Pielstick Trainer.

A little history, to all those interested. The West Coast received the Pielstick Engine from Halifax to use as a static trainer. The job entailed installing the engine in the diesel shop here at CFFSE/MSE Division. The door clearance, and tight corridor, which lead into the shop, required tight maneuvering as seen in the photos. With a lot of luck and some elbow grease, we were able to complete the job.
