ENGINE TESTER

Domain	Definition
Occupations	Tests completed motor vehicle engines prior to mounting in chassis, using conventional or computerized dynamometer, and adjusts and repairs engines to ensure performance conforms to specifications: Lifts engine onto stand, using hoist, and aligns and bolts engine in place. Bolts coupling to dynamometer and engine shaft and attaches fuel and coolant lines, using handtools. Starts engine to drive dynamometer. Reads gauges on instrument panel to determine that power developed at specified speeds, timing, and other engine specifications meet standards. Screws gauge into spark plug opening of successive cylinders while engine is running to verify compression ratios. Reverses drive by cutting off engine and moving switches, causing dynamometer to drive engine. Reads gauges to determine power necessary to turn engine. Adjusts carburetor, sets clearances between tappets and valves, and regulates timing, using feeler gauge, timing light, and handtools. Listens for internal noise, such as piston slap, knocks, taps, and gear noises that indicate irregularities in engine operation, using stethoscope-like instrument, and determines location and cause of malfunctions. Repairs or replaces carburetor, spark plugs, and fuel pump, or fills out report for repairs involving disassembly of engine. May test engine mounted on chassis and be designated Dynamometer Tester, Chassis (auto. mfg.). (references)
	Tests performance of new and overhauled aircraft engines, such as turboprop, turbofan, turbojet, and cylinder-type, and interprets test data: Positions or directs other workers in positioning engine on test stand, using hoist or overhead crane. Connects oil and fuel lines, instruments, controls, and engine accessories, such as generators, magnetos, and fuel injectors, using handtools. Connects testing instruments, such as dynamometers and manometers, to engine. Starts and operates engine for specified time at various speeds. Reads and records test data, such as speed, temperature, oil pressure, fuel consumption, and exhaust pressure. Calculates performance of engine at various speeds, using test data, standard formulas, computer or calculator. Signs off tested engines as ready for service or indicates reasons for rejection based on analysis of test data. Must be licensed by or perform work under licensure of Federal Aviation Administration. May operate computerized test equipment to enter, retrieve, and compute test data and be designated Test Cell Technician (aircraft mfg.). (references)
