Internal combustion engines may refer to medium speed diesels, high speed diesels, petrol engines, gas engines or dual fuel (gas/diesel) powered engines
Engine auxiliary systems may include cooling systems, lubrication systems, fuel systems and induction and exhaust systems
Engine components may include bearings (shell and white metal) pistons, cylinders, valves, cams, lifters, springs, timing gear, crankshaft, pumps, gaskets and seals, coolers, filters and governors
Measuring equipment may include micrometers, verniers (internal/external) dial indicators, bore gauges, depth and height gauges and optical fibre scope
Test equipment may include pressure and vacuum gauges, gas analysers, timing light, injector tester and dyno test equipment
Running checks may include cylinder peak pressure, exhaust gas temperature, lube oil flow checks and fuel injection timing
Maintenance may include repair, inspection, modification, overhaul, lubrication, servicing, diagnosing and test running
Re-assembly techniques may include crankshaft deflections, advanced levelling and alignment
Work completion details may include plant and maintenance records, job cards, check sheets, on device labelling updates and reporting and/or documenting equipment defects
Work site environment may be affected by nearby plant or processes, e.g. chemical, heat, dust, noise, gas and oil
Isolations can refer to electrical/mechanical or other appropriate processes
