Perform engine bottom-end overhaul
Assessment tool
Version 1.0
Issue Date: June 2024
This unit refers to work typically undertaken in a bottom-end engine overhaul.
It includes cylinder honing using hand held power tools, and replacement of bearings, piston rings and similar activities but not major machining such as crankshaft grinding, cylinder boring and tunnel boring.
Band: A
Unit Weight: 4
This unit covers dismantling, cleaning and assessing parts, recording and interpreting measurements, and reconditioning components.
You may want to include more information here about the target group and the purpose of the assessments (eg formative, summative, recognition)

Evidence Required
List the assessment methods to be used and the context and resources required for assessment. Copy and paste the relevant sections from the evidence guide below and then re-write these in plain English.
The evidence guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package. | |
Overview of assessment | A person who demonstrates competency in this unit must be able to perform engine bottom-end overhaul. Competency in this unit cannot be claimed until all prerequisites have been satisfied. |
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit | Assessors must be satisfied that the candidate can competently and consistently perform all elements of the unit as specified by the criteria, including required knowledge, and be capable of applying the competency in new and different situations and contexts. |
Context of and specific resources for assessment | This unit may be assessed on the job, off the job or a combination of both on and off the job. Where assessment occurs off the job, that is the candidate is not in productive work, then an appropriate simulation must be used where the range of conditions reflects realistic workplace situations. The competencies covered by this unit would be demonstrated by an individual working alone or as part of a team. The assessment environment should not disadvantage the candidate. This unit could be assessed in conjunction with any other units addressing the safety, quality, communication, materials handling, recording and reporting associated with performing engine bottom-end overhaul or other units requiring the exercise of the skills and knowledge covered by this unit. |
Method of assessment | Assessors should gather a range of evidence that is valid, sufficient, current and authentic. Evidence can be gathered through a variety of ways including direct observation, supervisor's reports, project work, samples and questioning. Questioning techniques should not require language, literacy and numeracy skills beyond those required in this unit of competency. The candidate must have access to all tools, equipment, materials and documentation required. The candidate must be permitted to refer to any relevant workplace procedures, product and manufacturing specifications, codes, standards, manuals and reference materials. |

Assessment Tasks
Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.
Required skills |
Look for evidence that confirms skills in: reading, interpreting and following information on written job instructions, specifications, standard operating procedures, charts, lists, drawings and other applicable reference documents planning and sequencing operations checking task-related information checking for conformance to specification removing the engine and top-end components removing ridges, gaps, tapers, protrusions and ovality dismantling block assembly calculating bearing clearances checking parts for abnormal wear or defects identifying components for reuse or replacement cleaning parts using appropriate solutions and procedures racking and setting out engine parts according to their original position in readiness for reassembly obtaining and recording measurements identifying replacement parts required as being under or over size using tools and equipment assembling engine bottom-end components undertaking calculations and numerical operations within the scope of this unit |
Required knowledge |
Look for evidence that confirms knowledge of: the characteristics of surface finishes and wear patterns as applied to crankshaft and piston assemblies the specifications of crankshaft and piston assemblies the reasons for identifying the components for reuse or replacement the procedures for dismantling the block assembly and removing the engine from the plant the procedures for removing the top end from the engine the tools, techniques and equipment to be used the reasons for selecting the chosen tools, techniques and equipment the hazards and control measures associated with the removal of engines/engine components, including housekeeping the action to be taken when abnormal wear or defects are observed in the engine components the procedures and solution for cleaning engine parts the procedures for racking and/or setting out of parts in readiness for reassembly the measuring instruments to be used to measure engine components the procedures for recording engine measurements the concept of under/over size of replacement parts and the reasons for identifying replacement parts as under or over size the procedures for removing ridges, gaps, tapers, ovality and protrusions the tools, techniques and equipment required to correct the above faults the procedures for assembling engine bottom ends the precautions to be taken when assembling engine bottom ends the methods and procedures for determining bearing clearances safe work practices and procedures |
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included. | |
Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
Observation Checklist
Tasks to be observed according to workplace/college/TAFE policy and procedures, relevant legislation and Codes of Practice | Yes | No | Comments/feedback |
---|---|---|---|
Characteristics of surface finishes and wear patterns associated with crankshaft and piston assemblies are understood and parts are correctly assessed for reuse or replacement. | |||
