The student will also learn to inspect, test and replace oil and water sending units and switches.The student will learn to remove and reinstall the engine assembly from the front wheel and rear wheel drive configurations. The student will also learn to inspect and determine action needed for valves, valve springs, guides and retainers. Also covered in this course are the inspection, measuring and determination of action for the engine block and its components, cam bearing, rod and main bearings, pistons and rings and cylinder walls. This course will also cover inspection and reassembly of the oil pump system and the reassembly of the engine, using the proper sealants and gaskets. Also covered in this course will be cylinder head and valve train component inspection including casting cracks, gaskets and bolts, lifters and camshafts as well as drive gears.
