The workshop is designed with a combination of classroom and hands-on education for the experienced machinist primarily involved with engine rebuilding.  Covers servicing the latest technology cylinder heads with an emphasis on aluminum.  Increase your working knowledge of repair and conditioning of cast iron and aluminum heads.  Analyze different cleaning methods, milling, pressure testing, straightening, crack detection and repair.  Repair techniques such as welding, oven straightening, and stitching pins will be discussed.

Prerequisite: Attendance of TEC402.

After completing this workshop, the student will be able to:

• Analyze aluminum cylinder heads that have been cleaned by pyrolytic oven, glass beading, airless shot blast and hot and cold wet cleaning.
• Identify integrity of cylinder head components through specification measurements.
• Categorize cylinder head service steps in preparation for milling, pressure testing, straightening, crack detection and crack repair.
• Differentiate techniques to repair cylinder heads in the areas of welding, oven and heat straightening, stitching pins, and milling.
• Apply experience to efficiently assemble cylinder head components: valve guides; valve seats; and valves, seals and components.
