| COURSE
DESCRIPTION |
The
teaching of cylinder head design by porting and polishing intake ports,
exhaust ports and combustion chambers. performance valve work and flow
testing for maximum power and torque through increased air flow. |
| COURSE IN
SERIES |
We have
HP-101, described above, and Blueprinting 202; our high performance/racing
engine blueprinting course. The classes are available on consecutive
weeks. |
| 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 covers hands-on techniques with charts and graphs on flow
bench testing and cylinder head specifications |
| WRITTEN
COMPREHENSION |
Students
are given instruction and take notes on correct procedures, techniques,
applications and usage of tools and abrasives to properly port cylinder
heads with maximum efficiency and minimum time. |
| ORAL
COMMUNICATION |
This
course is 10% lecture using audio and video tapes along with live lectures
and chalk board illustrations discussing the outline of our weeks work in
hands-on porting of all types of cylinder heads. |
| CRITICAL
THINKING/ PROBLEM SOLVING |
Students
have to think out situations concerning how to achieve the shaping and
finishing touches as they port. |
| DECISION
MAKING/CONSENSUS |
We
make it fairly easy to decide on the procedure to use through hands-on
porting, sharing problems with the other students and through teaching of
tried and true techniques. |
| HAND
TO EYE COORDINATION |
Over
40 hours is used to teach the feel of actual grinding and polishing of the
heads, valve work and machining in our high tech up to date professional
classrooms. |
| POSITIVE
ATTITUDE, MOTIVATION AND SELF-DIRECTION |
When
our students graduate they are ready to face the world with great
motivation and self direction how to achieve the redesigning and
improvement of the cylinder heads capability to flow better. |
| TEAMWORK |
The
students share their own knowledge and work together on individual
problems and bad grinding habits in the classroom . |
| COMPUTATION
(MATH) |
Some
math is needed, usually can be done by calculator, to correct air flow
figures for final equations and percentages. |
| TECHNOLOGICAL
CAPABILITIES |
Students
use hand and air grinders, carbide cutters, grinding and polishing
abrasives with continual assistance from the instructor. |
| TECHNOLOGICAL
COMPREHENSION |
After
one week of instruction students can port and polish heads to high
performance standards, do professional valve jobs, reface valves, use all
the cylinder head equipment from K-line, Serdi, Rottler, Super-Flow, etc.
to build a complete set of professional high performance cylinder heads. |
| CEU
RECOMMENDATION |
4
to 5 Continuing Education Units upon completion of this course. |
