AUTI 255 - High Performance Engines/Systems II
PREREQUISITES: AUTI 254 High Performance Engines/Systems I.
PROGRAM: Automotive Technology
CREDIT HOURS MIN: 3
LECTURE HOURS MIN: 2
LAB HOURS MIN: 2
DATE OF LAST REVISION: Spring 2022
This course covers the assembly/blueprinting of a competition engine. The course will focus on the basics of block and component preparation and clearancing, cylinder head porting, intake port matching and component balancing. Students will measure all critical clearances during assembly including but not limited to: deck heights, piston to valve clearances, chamber volumes, bearing clearances, piston to wall clearances, and rod side clearances.
MAJOR COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Upon completion of this course the student will be expected to:
- Demonstrate proper shop safety practices while working with engines, lifts and tools.
- Assemble a competition engine.
- Perform and evaluate all critical clearances in a competition engine.
- Perform necessary clearancing procedures.
- Describe port work required to increase airflow of a cylinder head.
- Perform port matching cylinder heads to an intake manifold.
- Describe how to balance a competition engine assembly.
COURSE CONTENT: Topical areas of study include - - Engine block and component preparation and installation
