Designed for automotive technicians and machinists involved with cylinder head service and repair, this course expands their knowledge of cylinder head reconditioning and sealing characteristics of head gaskets. Technicians will analyze components to ascertain required service and machining procedures. The course includes hands-on experience with aluminum and cast iron cylinder head reconditioning with quality parts, tools and equipment. This workshop fulfills the prerequisite for TEC403 — Cylinder Head Reconditioning II.
After completing this workshop, the student will be able to:
- Identify the correct cleaning procedure for cast-iron and aluminum cylinder heads and their components to minimize time and prevent damage utilizing the following cleaning techniques: hot and cold wet cleaning, airless shot blasting, pyrolytic oven and glass beading
- Perform critical measurements using various instruments — micrometers (I.D. and O.D.), vernier calipers and dial bore gauges
- Perform failure analysis of cylinder head components (head gaskets and surface finish, valves, rocker arms, springs, retainers, guides and seats)
- Employ various equipment related to cylinder head reconditioning:
- Milling machine
- Valve grinders
- Guide and seat machine(s)
- Test equipment for repair, replacement, assembly and crack detection
- Apply experience to efficiently assemble cylinder head components:
- Valve guides
- Valve seats
- Valves, seals and components
