Illustrating cylinder head, valve, and valve train construction, this video is the ideal visual aid for any hands-on course in automotive engine technology. In the cylinder head construction section, viewers will learn the configuration of the cylinder head, head gasket, valve cover, camshaft, cylinder head ports, combustion chambers, and other components. The valve construction section shows proper valve sealing, spring tension, and valve parts-keepers, retainers, spring, seal, and more. The valve train construction section explains a common overhead camshaft design, showing the action of the cam, lifter, pushrod, rocker arm, valves, and other essential parts. The program is filled with animated diagrams supporting detailed live-action footage. Correlates to all National CTE Organizational Standards (including the provisions of the Perkins Act).
