You will be taken through the step-by-step process of combustion and the key differences between petrol and diesel engine units. After this, you will then put your theoretical knowledge to the test by stripping down an engine unit and completely rebuilding it to a good industry standard. You will remove the following components, piston, crankshaft, camshaft, valves and other ancillary items. Please note, This course will cover theoretical principles of engine timing but not practical skills.

How will this course be delivered?

This course will be delivered over four weeks within a practical environment. Part of the lesson will undertake theory of engine units and the combustion process for both diesel and petrol vehicles and will give a hands-on practical approach on how to remove and replace engine components.
