PP10-205: Reciprocating Engine Inspection and Overhaul

This course provides students with hands-on experience with the theories behind reciprocating engines, including inspection, servicing, repair, and overhaul of opposed engines. Standard operating procedures such as shop safety and equipment protection will be emphasized. Engine removal, troubleshooting, and engine installation are emphasized as well as disassembly, inspection, and reassembly. Several key measurements such as piston wear will be taken and recorded using precision measuring devices such as micrometers. Reassembly by students will include the use of tools such as torque wrenches and cylinder base wrenches as required.
