		As on the berth deck, all lighting in the engineering areas was artificial, and the iron walls bore white paint to reflect what little light there was.
		The vibrating side-lever engine allowed rotation of the propeller shaft to be applied at a 90-degree angle to the main cylinder, while the horizontal design of the cylinders enabled Ericsson to place all of the machinery low in the hull below waterline and behind the Monitor's protective armor.

		A tail clutch and an engine clutch enabled either the engine or the motor to drive the propeller; or, alternatively, the motor could be used as a generator to recharge the main battery, with or without turning the propeller, or to float the load.
		Exhaust gases from the engines on the surface were passed outboard through muffler tanks at water level; but when snorting the gases had to be taken up through an exhaust mast whose open end was a few feet below the surface.
		There was always a partial vacuum throughout the submarine when snorting because the engines inevitably drew air from inside the boat as well as down through the snort mast; there were strict limitations on the amount of vacuum permitted as well as on other conditions involving crew and engine safety.

		Near the center of the overhead in each engine room is a large opening with a flapper valve installed to provide air for the engines in that compartment.
		In each engine room (in the overhead aft) is another Christmas Tree (a panel with red and green lights) that tells the Throttlemen when it is safe to start the engines.
		Starting these engines with the main induction closed off would quickly cause such a vacuum in the boat that the entire crew would likely have their ear drums ruptured from the rapid pressure drop.

		Air outlet up high in engine space, natural convection plus fan assist draws hot air out; air intake ducted to opposite side of engine room down low, no fan assist, convection or fan vacuum draws cool air in, duct outlet placement allows air to wash over hot engine on its way to outlet.

		Upon entry to the engine room with the lights on, there was a tremendous amount of smoke/exhaust, louder noise, lots of heat (as always with several hours of running) and lots of water under the engine.
		The water that is usually used to mix with the exhaust to cool it before traveling out the back of the boat, was now all running INTO the boat, under the engine and into the bilge.
		Meanwhile, once the engine had cooled down, the sun had come up and we'd had breakfast, I plunged into that spare parts locker and dug out all the pieces to put together an entire new assembly including the exhaust elbow, connecting pipes and mixing elbow.

		The correct way to adjust your valves involves measuring the clearance between the lifter and the valve stem when the lifter is on the heel of the cam.
		When the timing is correct, put the engine at a somewhat fast idle and pull the timing control lever all the way down.
		A good balancing job adds about $200.00 to the cost of an engine overhaul and as it requires a complete teardown of the engine, it is the most appropriate time to do the job.
