Engine building/tuning class in Owasso, Oklahoma.......
Smothers Supercars Engine Class
This class will teach theory and function of race oriented engines and focus on engines with carburetors and distributors. All principles will apply to any engine. Upon completion of the class, students will have the basic understanding of the proper method to assemble and tune an engine. This will be a “hands on” class. Each student will time a motor on my test stand before firing it up, adjust valves, and degree a camshaft.
Basic Intro to Engine Building and Blue Printing
Basic introduction to engine building, explanation of all parts and special tools needed to build an engine. Students will understand the importance of blue printing.
Component Explanation
Explanation in detail of all parts of an engine, their functions, proper conditions, and different types for specific applications.
Camshafts
Instruction will include the different types of cams and the proper matching of camshafts to engines for each application. Each student will leave the class having degreed a camshaft and have confidence that they can do it on their own.
Push Rods and Valve Train
Instruction will include an explanation of the different types of rocker arms, rocker arm geometry, how to measure pushrod length. Each student will learn and be confident in adjusting valves.
Carbs and Intake
Instruction will include an explanation of different types of carburetors and intakes and the matching of size to engine for proper operation. Students will learn about air/fuel ratio meters and how to use them to maximize their combinations. We will use an LM-1 meter on an engine that‘s running on my test stand.
Engine initial startup
Instruction will be given on the proper way to fire an engine for the first time. Students will also learn how to time a motor for the first time and how to curve a distributor. Students will also learn how to recognize how much timing a motor wants at idle and wide open throttle.
All tools for this class will be provided by our instructors.
There are no prerequisites for the course. The class will be approximately 8 hours. Each topic will be given enough time for complete comprehension as necessary.
Students will be reviewed on each phase in addition to a question and answer period after each session to ensure complete understanding.
Class sizes will range from a minimum of 6 people to a maximum of 10.
Cost of the class is $300 and must be prepaid. We accept Master Card and Visa.
The next two classes will be held Sunday, June22nd and July 13th starting at 8AM. There will be at least one class per month. Check out my website for future dates @ www.smotherssupercars.com If you're interested in hosting a class in your town, please call or email me.
