Des Groseilliers

1 ALCO 251 - 16 Cylinder
Service work performed in Quebec City, Quebec

Cores Worldwide Inc. was contracted to remove the crankshaft, rotate the engine block 180 degrees from 1 of the 5 main engines to accomodate for align boring and install a new crankshaft. The project required CORES to send servicemen, tools and equipment to Quebec City. CORES disassembled the engine, removed the crankshaft, rotated the engine block 180 degrees, had the block align bored and installed a new crankshaft. All parts and major components were reconditioned, the engine was reassembled and sea trialed. CORES also designed and built an engine rotator that was tested and approved by a third party engineering firm. The rotator allowed the project to be completed with no grinding, burning or welding in the engine room. All work was completed on time and on budget.
