Who's the Master?


Cy is and has always been an ASE Master Technician since the day I met him. Every five years, he has to get recertified. Well, at the end of this month - his title would expire, unless he took the certification tests again. He signed up to take all eight tests and of course it lands on the day of Evan's birthday. Womp-womp-womp -- BUMMER!

The end result - he passed with flying colors! Also "Acing" three of of the eight! Yes, my hubby is smart as a whip! To celebrate, I had a customized surprise cake made for him. And since we were all going to a small group BBQ dinner, what better way to have others enjoy in the celebration! When I announced to everyone that I had an announcement -- I think the room got hyped up asking if we were expecting again. FAT CHANCE! Hah! Cy was shocked about me saying I wanted to announce something too! ! No, no, no -- I just wanted to say how proud I was of Cy and wanted everyone to help celebrate by having some onolicious (that's good in Hawaiian) cake! Hands down, everyone helped themselves and I busted out some ice cream too! Cake taste better with ice cream. :)



Because the ASE company is highly known and its logo is copyrighted, I had to get permission from them in order for the bakery to produce the customized cake I wanted. No problem. The VP was super nice and faxed over the copyrights to the bakery per my request. AND - he also requested a picture of Cy w/his cake. I emailed the following pictures to the ASE company:


Here are some sample ASE test questions. I have no idea what the answer is - you'll have to ask my ASE Master Tech - he will definitely know the answer. :)

Technician A says that although all cylinders were in balance during a cylinder power test, there still may be a problem with the ignition or fuel systems.
Technician B says that good cylinder power balance test results indicate that compression is good in all cylinders. Who is right?
A. A only
B. B only
C. Both A and B
D. Neither A nor B

When conducting a pressure test on an A/C system, the ambient temperature is 85 degrees F., the low-side gauge reads very low (10 psi) and the high-side gauge also reads low (90 psi), which of the following could cause these readings?
A. Low Refrigerant Level.
B. Normal Operation.
C. Bad Compressor.
D. A high-side restriction.
