Changing timing belts is one of the key jobs to be carried out when servicing vehicles with overhead camshafts. It is especially vital to maintain valve timing accurately and not to alter the positions of the cams with respect to the crankshaft. This training system teaches you the best and safest way to change a timing belt.

Changing Timing Belts in Overhead Camshaft Engines

The training system on changing the timing belts in overhead camshaft engines provides an effective and efficient learning platform on the subject of automotive technology. Practical work, use of special tools in conjunction with an educational conception lead to outcome-oriented training. The experiment hardware comprises authentic vehicle components. The disadvantages of the lightweight construction methods used in motor vehicles are evened out by the training system itself. For instance, threads are implemented in solid steel to ensure a long service life. Students can plan the testing, maintenance and regular replacement of engine management components and then carry them out. As part of the maintenance procedure, the students will use the specified tools, machines, operational and auxiliary equipment and apply workplace safety and environmental protection regulations. They will test component modules of the engine management system for reusability. The hardware can be used for both theoretical and practical education.

Training contents:

• General engine management
• Interaction of components in an engine management system
• Interpretation of set-point data for a vehicle

ILA Replacement of a Timing Belt at a OHC Engine

The multimedia course “Changing timing belts in overhead camshaft engines” provides a detailed description of the procedure for changing toothed belts in an engine with an overhead camshaft and explains the specific aspects in a comprehensible way. The course not only explains precisely how a timing belt works but also makes reference to the necessary theoretical background which is necessary to understand the course contents. This theory is imparted by means of numerous animations, pictures and video in a way that is easy for trainees to understand. The interactive experiments and tests of knowledge enhance and monitor the theory learned, allowing the essential diagnostic skills to be taught. Thanks to the practical educational focus of the course, the knowledge gained can be directly applied in practice. For example, the course includes diagnostic instructions for checking a belt drive when the engine is not running properly. Documentation of measurement results makes it possible for trainees to recapitulate the things they have learned in preparation for exams.
