| COURSE
DESCRIPTION |
The
teaching of how to properly check all parts and pieces of the engine
before and after all machining operations, during and after assembly of
engine. How to check and correct all engine clearances, crankshaft
strokes, camshaft degreeing, rocker arm geometry and engine blueprinting
using the latest available equipment. |
| COURSE IN
SERIES |
The
BP-202, described above, and Head Porting 101 are run on consecutive weeks
to allow a student to take both at one visit. |
| The
following skills/competencies and behaviors represent some of the learning
outcomes which are present in the two courses offered by: MONDELLO
TECHNICAL SCHOOL |
| READING/COMPREHENSION |
The
class textbook is full of do's and don'ts on the correct way to do all
machining procedures, sonic testing, engine building sheets and every
part-checking procedure we have found to be useful in our 45 years of
innovation in the high performance industry. A racing engine can be
blueprinted by following this text. |
| WRITTEN
COMPREHENSION |
During
video, audio and chalk board illustration exercises, students take notes
and review the text daily to learn the art of engine blueprinting inside
and out. |
| ORAL
COMMUNICATION |
This
course is approximately 20% lecture and 80% hands-on working on engines. |
| CRITICAL
THINKING/ PROBLEM SOLVING |
Students
will need to understand the word "blueprinting" and utilize
special micrometers, hand tools and checking devices. |
| DECISION
MAKING/CONSENSUS |
During
the week the student gains enough experience and confidence to blueprint
and build a racing engine. |
| HAND
TO EYE COORDINATION |
This
course entails 80% hands-on work for blueprinting and assembly using
precision hand tools. |
| POSITIVE
ATTITUDE, MOTIVATION AND SELF-DIRECTION |
Upon
graduation, students fully understand racing engine design, blueprinting
and assembly. |
| TEAMWORK |
The
students share their knowledge and work together on exercises to check
clearances and assemble engines. |
| COMPUTATION
(MATH) |
Basic
math, both manual and calculator, are used to figure final engine
clearances. |
| TECHNOLOGICAL
CAPABILITIES |
Students
use hand tools, micrometers, feeler gauges, assembly lubricants; following
our textbook and the instructors supervision. |
| TECHNOLOGICAL
COMPREHENSION |
After
one week in our engine blueprinting course students are able to check,
blueprint and assemble a high performance racing engine using the proper
hand tools and measuring devices. |
| CEU
RECOMMENDATION |
4
to 4.5 Continuing Education Units upon completion of this course. |
