    Abstract: A method of cleaning a cylinder head using pressurized fluid and a tooling assembly for the same includes a jet ignition insert attached to a spark plug well defined by the cylinder head. The insert defines an opening in fluid communication with the spark plug well. The insert includes an end wall attached to the insert distal end to close one end of the opening and the end wall defines holes. The tooling assembly includes a tool configured to clean the insert. A first engagement surface of the insert and a second engagement surface of the tool engage each other to form a seal that surrounds the holes of the insert such that the pressurized fluid is directed through the holes and into the opening of the insert during the first operation procedure of the tooling assembly to flush debris out of the holes of the insert.

    Abstract: A part cleaning machine includes a cradle moveable along an X axis, and rotatable about a first cradle axis. A part holder is attached to the cradle, and is rotatable about a second cradle axis. A chuck holder is moveable on a tool positioning plane that is perpendicular to the X axis. A tool chuck is attached to and moveable with the chuck holder. A tool holder is moveable relative to the chuck holder along the X axis. A plurality of tools are releasably attached to the tool holder for selective attachment to the tool chuck. A machine controller is operable to control movement of the chuck holder, the tool chuck, and the tool holder to transfer a selected one of the tools between the tool chuck and the tool holder, and position an appropriate tool and the part in different positions for several different cleaning operations.

    Abstract: A method of operating a part cleaning machine includes removably attaching a part to a part holder. A selected first one of a plurality of tools is transferred from a tool holder to a tool chuck to perform a desired cleaning operation. The selected first one of the tools is positioned in a pre-defined tool cleaning position by moving a chuck holder along an axis on a tool positioning plane. The part is positioned in a pre-defined part cleaning position by at least one of moving a cradle along an X axis, rotating the cradle about a first cradle axis, or rotating the part holder about a second cradle axis. The desired cleaning operation is performed on the part with the selected first one of the tools, with the part in the pre-defined part cleaning position and the selected first one of the tools in the pre-defined tool cleaning position.

    Abstract: A cart assembly includes a base with wheels, a shelf support structure orthogonally arranged with respect to the base, one or more shelves supported by the support structure, and a swivel mechanism. The swivel mechanism is coupled to the base and the shelf support structure to provide an axis of rotation, such that the shelf support structure and the shelf or shelves are selectively rotatable with respect to the axis. The swivel mechanism may include a race that defines a socket on a circumference of the race. A pin is selectively engageable with the socket to prevent rotation of the race and the support structure. The shelf may include a thermoformed plastic tray, or three shelves arranged at three different levels of the shelf support structure. Some of the shelves may fold against and secure to the shelf support structure.

    Abstract: A parts washing system includes a plurality of walls defining a chamber. A washing apparatus is disposed within the chamber for washing a part. At least one of the walls defines an opening. The system also includes a door movable from an open position for allowing access to the chamber to a closed position for preventing access to the chamber. The door comprises a flexible material. An electric motor is operatively connected to the door for actuating movement of the door from the closed position to the open position at a velocity faster than 20 inches per second.

    Abstract: A method of testing a spark plug includes exciting the spark plug with a constant current from a DC power supply. A voltage difference across a gap of the spark plug is measured with a voltage measuring device. A status of an element of the spark plug is determined from the measured voltage difference. The status of the element of the spark plug may include, but is not limited to, a distance of the gap of the spark plug, or a condition of an insulator of the center electrode of the spark plug.
