Internal Combustion Engines” provides a comprehensive guide to modern engine technology, structured to lead the technician from fundamental principles to advanced diagnostics and rebuilding procedures.

Key Topics Covered:

• Fundamentals & Types: Core thermodynamic principles (Otto vs. Diesel cycles) and an analysis of various engine configurations (inline, V-type, boxer).
• Core Mechanical Components: In-depth study of the engine block, cylinder head, valvetrain (camshafts, rocker arms, valves), and the rotating assembly (pistons, connecting rods, crankshaft, bearings).
• Key Engine Systems: Detailed breakdown of air management (intake, exhaust, turbocharging), fuel systems (GDI, Common Rail), and ignition systems.
• Support & Control Systems: Operation and diagnostics of lubrication, cooling, and modern emission control systems (EGR, DPF, catalytic converters).
• Diagnostics & Rebuilding: Systematic methodology for diagnosing performance faults, analyzing ECU data, and step-by-step procedures for engine disassembly, component inspection, and reassembly.
