DESL 1600 - Diesel Engines

Credits: 6

Building on the basics from Diesel Fundamentals, this course will go more in-depth to cover the various kinds of engine repair operations that diesel technicians may encounter in the industry. Engine teardowns and evaluations will be used, as well as proper reassembly and initial adjustments. More extensive component/system inspection will be included, with an emphasis on current industry practices and problems encountered. Students should be prepared for extensive shop work and dress accordingly. At least a basic set of hand tools is recommended, although the college will provide all special tooling.
