19]  Small engine overhaul
 - students supply, disassemble, service and reassemble  their own single cylinder air-cooled  engine. Students are responsible for following a suitable checklist for assembly including:
 

  - proper tool use in disassembly (pullers etc.)
  - proper measurement (micrometers - rules)
  - valve grinding
  - adjustment/measurement

   - valve clearances
   - correct ring gap
   - proper torques
   - etc.

  The engine MUST leave the shop in running  order.  Students are responsible for   paying for all repair parts - but are only required to buy gaskets - any other parts   are by their choice only.
 

EVALUATION
 

UNIT TESTS - 50%
ASSIGNMENTS - 30%
SHOP MARK - 20%

 
      Assignments are due on the specified dates.  Late assignments will be assessed -10% for one day late, and a 0% mark for more than one day late.  Late assignments MUST be completed, even if they are assessed at 0%.

      Students who have a legitimate absence on a test day must notify the office before 9:00 a.m. and the student will be given the opportunity to write the test on the date of returning to school.  Failure to provide advance notice will result in a test mark of 0%.

      All students are expected to maintain perfect attendence and arrive for class on time, and prepared.  Failure to do so may result in suspension or exclusion from this course.

      Credits will be awarded in the following CTS modules once this 5 credit course has been successfully completed.  ALL modules run concurrently, and individual module credits will NOT be awarded.

           CTS 1020, 1040, 1090, 1130, 1150
