AURT401145A
Overhaul engines and associated engine components

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: April 2024


The unit includes identification and confirmation of work requirement, preparation for work, dismantling of engines, repair, assembly and final checking of engines and completion of work finalisation processes, including clean-up and documentation.

This unit of competence should be contextualised to the qualification it is being applied.

For overhaul of outdoor power equipment engines and associated components see AURP401245B Overhaul engines and associated engine components (outdoor power equipment).

Work requires individuals to demonstrate some judgement and problem-solving skills in managing own work activities and contributing to a productive team environment.

Work is carried out in accordance with award provisions.

This unit covers the competence required to overhaul engines and associated engine components on an engine removed from its chassis.

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

Employability Skills

This unit contains employability skills.



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

Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit

It is essential that competence in this unit signifies ability to transfer competence to changing circumstances and to respond to unusual circumstances in the critical aspects of:

observing safety procedures and requirements

communicating effectively with others involved in or affected by the work

selecting methods and techniques appropriate to the circumstances

completing preparatory activity in a systematic manner

dismantling, evaluating, assembling, adjustment, measuring and testing engines in accordance with workplace and manufacturer/component supplier requirements

completing overhaul of a range of engines and associated components within workplace guidelines and timeframes

engine presentation to customer in compliance with workplace requirements

Context of, and specific resources for assessment

Application of competence is to be assessed in the workplace or simulated worksite

Assessment is to occur using standard and authorised work practices, safety requirements and environmental constraints

Assessment is to comply with regulatory requirements, including Australian Standards

The following resources should be made available:

workplace location or simulated workplace

materials relevant to the overhaul of engines

equipment, hand and power tooling appropriate to the overhaul of engines

activities covering mandatory task requirements

specifications and work instructions

Method of assessment

Assessment must satisfy the endorsed assessment guidelines of the automotive industry's RS&R Training Package

Assessment methods must confirm consistency and accuracy of performance together with application of underpinning knowledge

Assessment must be by direct observation of tasks, with questioning on underpinning knowledge and it must also reinforce the integration of key competencies

Assessment may be applied under project related conditions (real or simulated) and require evidence of process

Assessment must confirm a reasonable inference that competence is able not only to be satisfied under the particular circumstance, but is able to be transferred to other circumstances

It is preferable assessment reflects a process rather than an event and occurs over a period of time to cover varying quality circumstances. Evidence of performance may be provided by customers, team leaders/members or other appropriate persons subject to agreed authentication arrangements

Competence in this unit may be assessed in conjunction with other functional units which together form part of the holistic work role

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

apply research and interpretive skills sufficient to locate, interpret and apply manufacturer/component supplier procedures, workplace policies and procedures

apply analytical skills required for identification and analysis of technical information

apply plain English literacy and communication skills in relation to dealing with customers and team members

apply questioning and active listening skills for example when obtaining information from customers

apply oral communication skills sufficient to convey information and concepts to customers

apply planning and organising skills to work activities, including making good use of time and resources, sorting out priorities and monitoring own performance

interact effectively with other persons both on a one-to-one basis and in groups, including understanding and responding to the needs of a customer and working effectively as a member of a team to achieve a shared goal

establish safe and effective work processes which anticipate and/or resolve problems and downtime, to systematically develop solutions to avoid or minimise reworking and avoid wastage

use mathematical ideas and techniques to calculate time, assess tolerances, apply accurate measurements, calculate material requirements and establish quality checks

use workplace technology related to overhaul of engines, including use of specialist tooling and equipment, measuring equipment, computerised technology and communication devices and reporting/documenting of results

Required knowledge

A working knowledge of:

OH&S and environmental regulations/requirements, equipment, material and personal safety requirements

types, characteristics and operating processes of engines

types and layout of service/repair manuals (hard copy and electronic)

engine overhaul procedures

dismantling, assembling and adjustment methods

measuring and testing procedures

relevant technical information

component safety requirements

relevant enterprise policies

manual handling techniques

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.
