Remove and replace engine cylinder heads

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit describes the performance outcomes required to remove and replace an engine cylinder head. It requires the learner to plan and prepare the task; remove and dismantle the cylinder head, inspect the components, and reassemble and replace the cylinder head; check the engine operation; and maintain the work area, tools and equipment.

It applies to those undertaking a Vocational Education and Training in Schools (VETiS) or pre-vocational qualification as preparation to entering the automotive service and repair or automotive manufacturing industry.

The unit is designed for use in a highly supervised context and is not suitable for use in a vocational qualification.

No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)
