Process Flow of Engine Repair Shop
In engine repair shop there are many tasks could be done. These tasks have their own steps.
These are disassembling, washing, inspection, maintenance and assembly.
Disassembling
In this stage’s engines disassembled into components and parts. All parts of engines will be
disassembled and small parts such as bolts, nuts, etc. put in a dish. Similarly, crank shaft, piston
head, and other heavy parts will be hosted by the crane and sit on washing machine. There is no
different method or unique machine to disassembling process simply uses a number of wrenches
.Washing
After disassembling, parts and components of engines will be washed. This washing machine
initially used steam to wash. But now it is not working and instead of steam it uses hot
water.
Inspection
After parts have been washed, the next stage will be inspection. The first part of the inspection
process will be the visual inspection. Through this process we will recognize if there are any
problems like, crack and breakage on the engine housing and the other parts.
Inspection of the valve will be accomplished by checking whether the valve gained is usable or
not and if the valve head fits with the engine head opening.
Maintenance
After the parts of engine (mainly the crank shaft, camshaft and engine cylinder) have been
inspected, if there is a faulty part it will have to be maintained to suitable value.
There are different maintaining methods that will be used for different parts.
Assembly
Unlike disassembling work group, the assembly section follows a set of procedures as set by
manufacturer on the manual.
Special tools may be used in assembly specific to the part that will be assembled. Most of these
tools are custom made to lessen the difficulty and reduce the time that the assembly process
causes. But even with the special tools the assembly process is tire some and time consuming.
The main cause to this problem is the engine time setting process. On the tank engine the engine
time seating process may take up to one or more days.
6
Engine mechanical problems can have many causes. Component wear is both normal and
inevitable. Anything with moving parts will wear with prolonged operation. This wear can occur
sooner than expected if an engine is abused or is improperly maintained. Sealing gaskets can split
or leak, internal engine parts such as piston rings, bearings, and valve train components can wear,
and intake and exhaust valves can burn, just to note a few common examples.
Improper service can cause engine mechanical problems and increased wear as well. For
example, cleaning gasket surfaces with surface conditioning disks is NOT recommended by
vehicle manufacturers. The use of such surface conditioning discs dislodges Aluminum Oxide
(from the disk) and metal particles, which can lead to premature engine bearing failure. In some
cases, this failure occurs in as little as 1,000 miles (2,200 km) after the repair has been made.
Unusual noises can be indicators of engine damage or wear. Pinpointing and evaluating engine
noise is a very difficult diagnostic job. It is important to attempt to locate the area where the
noise appears to be coming from before tearing the engine apart. Noise is sometimes transmitted
to other locations, and can often be difficult to isolate. Practice and experience will make this
process easier over time. A technicians’ stethoscope, or probe, can be helpful in successfully
locating and evaluating engine noise. The stethoscope can be moved around until the exact
location of the noise is determined. If a stethoscope is not available, a long, thin screwdriver, or a
piece of hose can sometimes be substituted.
The following section is designed to show common causes of abnormal engine sounds.
Rod Knock:
A worn, loose connecting rod bearing causes the big end of the rod to hammer on the rod journal
of the crankshaft as the piston moves up and down. This hammering makes a knocking sound.
Piston Pin Knock:
Excessive clearance at the other (small) end of the connecting rod can cause a knock as well. A
knock at the piston (wrist) pin sounds somewhat like a rod bearing knock but will be located
much higher in the engine than the rod knock. It also may or may not be sensitive to changes in
engine speed, load, or temperature. In some cases, the location of the knock may be the only way
to determine if it is coming from a rod or from a piston pin. In other cases, the rod bearing and
piston pin produce two different types of noise.
Piston Slap:
7
Piston slap is a knocking sound caused by a piston rocking in a worn cylinder bore and
contacting the cylinder wall. Piston slap sounds much like a wrist pin knock. However, unlike a
wrist pin knock, a piston slap generally quiets down as the engine warms up and the piston
expands. Sometimes killing fuel or spark to one cylinder at a time will temporarily make the
piston slap get louder or change its sound. Correction of the piston slap also requires engine
disassembly and measurement.
Main Bearing Knock:
A main bearing knock sounds more like a dull thud than a knock. A main bearing knock comes from
lower in the engine. The knock is loudest when the engine is under a moderate to heavy load. The cause is
usually worn crankshaft main journals and/or worn main bearings allowing the crankshaft itself to flex
under load. This in turn makes the crankshaft move up and down inside the cylinder block.
Non-engine related sounds:
If the noise occurs only when changing gears or going into or out of gear, the engine itself may
not be the problem. The engine mounts, transmission, torque converter flex plate or clutch should
be checked for wear or breakage.
8
2.1.2. Brake service
Brakes are one of the main safety components in your vehicle. So, in the event that you notice
any of the following common warning indications of brake issues Complete/partial brake failure,
Bouncing or recurring stoppage when braking suddenly, Burning smell when brakes are applied,
Car tugging in a direction when braking, Wooden or soft brake pedal, Visible leaking fluid,
Vibration or squealing while braking, Grinding sound when brakes are applied, Metallic squeal
when in motion, and Dashboard Warning Light
Keep your car in perfect condition during springs. A damping brake System responsible for an
increase of 10% in the distance necessary to restrain. Keep an eye on the state and the pressure of
your tires because they determine the effectiveness of the braking since one of its missions is to
convey the power and braking
The brakes for automotive use may be classified according to the following considerations:
1. Purpose
2. Location
3. Construction
4. Method of actuation
Purpose
From this point of view the brakes may be classified as the service or the primary and the
Parking or the secondary brakes. The service brakes are the main brakes used for stopping the
Vehicle while in motion, whereas the parking brakes are meant to hold the vehicle on a slope.
Location
The brakes may be located either at the transmission or at the wheels. In case of automobiles, the
wheel brakes are used universally
Construction
From construction point of view, the two categories are the drum brakes and the disc brakes
Method of Actuation
The following brake types are the most frequently used ones: a.
Mechanical brakes
b. Hydraulic brakes
c. Electric brakes
d. Vacuum brakes

e. Air brake
Procedures of brake system maintenance

Figure 3 Battery service
Battery testing
Battery testing has changed in recent years; although the three areas are basically the same, the
equipment has improved.
1) Visual Inspection;
2) State of Charge;
Specific Gravity;
Open Circuit Voltage;
3) Capacity or Heavy Load Test
11
2.1.4. Body maintenance and painting
Important of painting
Preventing Structural Problems
Preventing Corrosion
Improving Resale Value
Body maintenance and painting procedure
1. Auto Body Technicians Will Disconnect Components and Remove the Bumper
2. Auto Body Repair Technicians Then Repair Any Bumper Imperfections
3. Once a Bumper Is Properly Shaped, Technicians Can Reinstall and Paint Look for
these 5 signs that you look for auto body painting services.
1. Accidents
Having any kind of accident can be a perfectly good reason to examine the exterior of your car.
Any sort of ding or scratch from a minor bump to a full-on collision could open your car up to
serious issues.
If you want to get your cars looking like new, have an auto body painting specialist look at your
car. Waiting could result in an exterior that chips, cracks, and leaves your whole exterior up for
massive deterioration.
12
2. Paint Is Fading
If your paint job is noticeably fading, it means its beginning to wear. This is probably the number
one reason people talk to an auto body painting expert.
There are lots of that your paint job might not look as new as it used to. If you’ve left your car
out in the sun, it could lead to fading. If you’re considering buying a new car, you might want to
find a place to store it.
3. The Clear Coat Is Peeling Back
Your first line of defense against your paint starting to chip off is your clear coat. Once you lose
that, your car is vulnerable to the elements and anything else that life throws at it.
If you think you’re seeing paint peeling from your car, it’s probably just the clear coat separating
from the base coat. But once that clear coat is gone, the base coat could lift from the body and
expose your car to all kinds of damage.
4. Deep Scratches
If you get sideswiped on the highway, scratched up in a parking lot, or ended up having someone
key your car, your paint job is going to need to be treated. Have a pro take a look at any scratches
and see what they recommend. An auto body professional will take you through their process and
talk through the options.
Some scratches can be buffed out. Some can be buffed out in a DIY manner. Others need a little
more work.
5. Rust Issues
If you live in a colder climate, you know there are lots of things that can attack your car through
the winter.
If your car survived a tough winter, you’ve still got some work to do. Always be sure you get the
underside of your car wiped of any salt that can eat away at your car. Once winter’s over, you
might have some scratches or rust that’s accrued.
we performed my work on the above sections to know different automobiles problem and give
service to them.
Other services Check the Engine Oil
Do it regularly—monthly for a vehicle in good condition; more often if you notice an oil leak or
find you need to add oil routinely.
13
Check Tire Air Pressure
Once a month and before any extended road trips, use an accurate tire-pressure gauge to check
the inflation pressure in each tire, including the spare. Do this when the tires are cold (before the
vehicle has been driven or after no more than a couple of miles of driving pounds.
Wash the Car
Try to wash the car every week, if you can. Wash the body and, if necessary, hose out the fender
wells and undercarriage to remove dirt and road salt
Check the Air Filter
Remove the air-filter element and hold it up to a strong light. If you don’t see light, replace it.
Regardless, follow the recommended service intervals.
Check the Constant-Velocity-Joint Boots
On front-wheel-drive and some four-wheel-drive vehicles, examine these bellows like rubber
boots, also known as CV boots, on the drive axles. Immediately replace any that are cut, cracked,
or leaking. If dirt contaminates the CV joint it can quickly lead to an expensive fix.
Inspect the Exhaust System
If you’re willing to make under-car inspections, check for rusted-through exhaust parts that need
replacing. Also tighten loose clamps. Do this while the car is up on ramps. If a shop changes
your oil, have them make these checks
Look at the Brakes
For most people it makes sense to have a shop check and service the brakes. If you handle your
own brake work, remove all wheels and examine the brake system. Replace excessively worn
pads or linings, and have badly scored rotors or drums machined or replaced. The brakes should
be checked at least twice per year; more often if you drive a lot of miles.
Clean the Radiator
Prevent overheating by removing debris with a soft brush and washing the outside of the radiator
with a detergent solution.
2.2 Engineering methods, tools and techniques we have been using while
performing our work task
we use different jacks and safety stands to perform brake service
we use millimeter and hydrometer to perform battery service
we use oxyacetylene welding method to perform body maintenance
14
we use different tools to separate different automobile parts like
different size sockets
speed handling
2.3 Challenges and problems, we have been facing and identifying while
performing our work task
• Lack of safety shoes
• Lack of company supervisor who advise and guide us.
• Transport problem
• Not safe working environment (sunny, dirty, and formless)
• Working tools were not fully available (hand tools and lifting mechanisms)
• Lack of required materials to perform our project
• Repeated and same works for long time
• doing different especially focusing on those materials that are not available but still necessary for
the work
• arranging those formless work areas using kaizen principles
• cleaning and keeping the hygiene of the work areas after work
• enforce the administrator to fulfill the necessary tools and materials
• by communicating with our faculty advisor we try to do our project in the institute work shop

good things of accompany punctuality, respect each other, communication, social interaction and
members are freely flow their knowledge for us. Up on this, we recommend them to keep up these good
things. Besides, we have seen some problems. Among these: Lack of resource, Low payment for
mechanics per month, Internship students prohibited by managers to drive cars for training, Lack of tool
and equipment. Regarding above problems, we recommend accompany to take the following action.
• A company should full fill maintenance resource materials, tools and equipment’s for mechanics
to keep customer happiness and Increase Company’s profit.
• A company should maintain private vehicles with appropriate payment.
• A company should pay for mechanics adequate salary relative with market

PART. 2
PROJECT TITLE: DESIGN TWO POST AUTOMOBILE CAR LIFT
ABSTRACT
This paper mainly composed of on the project of a design and modeling of two post automobile
car lift. We concerned about ours internship program in Dawit auto shop Company and this
needs more space for maintain and high functionality. The aim of this paper work is to get
desired space and function at every condition using the method of collecting different parts,
which consists of frame power screw fork, fork holder, worm gear belt gear pulley and different
types of bolt with nut are selected parts of the machine.
The system is operated in automated and the machine design to lift the mass below to 3856kg
and with a weight is 39000N load.
The parts are design in detail according the design consideration parameters using engineering
formulas and preparing their respective 2D and 3D drawing and drawing views using solid work
software. We conclude the design is safe as we have seen from the result. All stresses that we
have calculated using the given data are less than the allowable stress of the selected material.

CHAPTER ONE
1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE PROJECT
Two post lifts are not all for general repair of cars but also for light trucks, and they're great for
working on the brakes, wheels, suspension, exhaust systems, grease points, oil changes, and
much more. For heavier types of vehicles or specialized work, you may want to look into other
auto lifts but in the main, the two-post lift is a great lift to have in any shop.
Some people like using two-post lifts for most jobs because they give free access to all parts of
the vehicle. A two post above ground lift is designed to raise cars and trucks for easy access to
wheel assemblies and the underside of the vehicle [1].
Most two post above ground lifts are powered by an electric/hydraulic power unit. The power
unit is an assembly of the following main component parts: Electric motor (usually 220 Volt
single phases 60 HZ). The preferred electric motor should offer maximum torque while drawing
the least amount of amperage. That being said, post car lifts differ from scissor lifts in that they
allow full- accessibility to the underside of the car. While scissor lifts are useful for things like
tire rotations and brake service (because they get all 4 wheels off the ground), they all but block
the entire under side of the vehicle, making things like transmission work (and even oil changes
on some cars) out of the question. The lift is exclusively designed for lifting passenger cars or
vehicles where the total weight is not above the maximum permitted carrying capacity of the lift
and where stipulated acceptance points lie within the acceptance area of the lift. The lift is
designed to lift motorized vehicles; it is not meant to transport persons [2].
Working principle
When the power button on the electric motor is pressed, the electric/hydraulic power unit delivers
the rotation to the gear, and the gear transfer the torque as well as the speed to the twopower
screw (one is located in each of the opposing columns). The rotation of the mechanism we used
controlled by the electric motor. (Important: The weight of the vehicle to be lifted must be evenly
distributed on the four arm pads).
21
1.2. Problem statement and justification
During maintenance and repairing the components of the vehicle there is no enough lifting machine
of the car for diagnostic, repair, brake service, transmission work and maintenance work in the
company. There is low functional for all condition, and it is blocked the entire side of the vehicle,
and not free access to all parts of the vehicle.
The solution for this problem is design two post (column) automobile car lift is the best that they
allow full- accessibility to the underside of the car.
22
1.3 Objective of the project
1.3.1 General objective
The general objective of this project is to design and modeling of the two-post
automobile car lift.

Since there are certain types of limitation to design and analysis of the two post car lifting
machine. Due to the lack of time we have not done the project broadly and different parts which
useful for the machine has not designed but we take and select some of them. Loads and certain
types of installation mechanisms with different input forces, there should have been alternate
designs for the raising and lowering of a certain load. But due to the following restrictions or
restrains possible design is contained in this project.

CHAPTER TWO
2. LITERATURE REVIEW
Bhandari et al.(2010) [3] have studied and investigated about a motorizing jack which is a device
that used to lift vehicles. The application of force depends upon the type of jack. Motorizing jack
has higher capacity to lift loads.. Pascal’s law is used in the operation principle. Hydraulic jacks
depend on this basic principle to lift heavy loads: they use pump plungers to move oil through
two cylinders. The plunger is moved forward which opens the suction valve and draws oil into
the pump chamber. As the plunger is pushed forward, the oil moves through an external
discharge check valve into the cylinder chamber, and the suction valve closes, which results in
pressure building within the cylinder.
Oduori (2016) [4] an enterprising Mississippi river boat captain named Josiah Barrett had an idea
for a ratchet jack that would pull barges together to form a „tow‟. The idea was based on the
familiar lever and fulcrum principle and he needed someone to manufacture it. That person was
Samuel Duff, proprietor of a local machine shop. 3 Together, they created the Duff
Manufacturing Company, which by 1890 had developed new applications for the original
„Barrett Jack‟ and extended the product line to seven models in varying capacities. Over the next
30 years the Duff Manufacturing Company became the largest manufacturer of lifting jacks in
the world, developing many new types of jack for various applications including its own version
of the ball bearing screw jack. It was only natural that in 1928, The Duff Manufacturing
Company Inc. merged with A.O. Norton to create the Duff-Norton Manufacturing Company.
Both companies had offered manually operated screw jacks but the first new product
manufactured under the joint venture was the air motor-operated power jack that appeared in
1929.
Ravi Kumar et al... (2012)[5]. A screw jack that has a built-in motor is now referred to as a linear actuator
but is essentially still a screw jack. Today, screw jacks can be linked mechanically or electronically and
with the advances in motion-control, loads can be positioned to within microns. Improvements in gear
technology together with the addition of precision ball screws and roller screws mean the applications for
screw jacks today are endless and a real alternative to hydraulics in terms of duty cycles and speed at a
time when industry demands cleaner, quieter and more reliable solutions
24
With the aid of the relatively new portable compressor technology, users now could move and
position loads without manual effort. The jack, used predominantly in the railway industry,
incorporated an air motor manufactured by The Chicago Pneumatic Tool Company.
25
Since then the product has evolved to push, pull, lift, lower and position loads of anything from a
few kilos to hundreds of tonnes. One of the biggest single screw jacks made to date is a special
Power Jacks E-Series unit that is rated for 350 tonnes –even in earthquake conditions for the
nuclear industry. More recent developments have concentrated on improved efficiency and
durability, resulting in changes in both lead screw and gearbox design options for screw jacks.

3. Methodology
The methodology followed during the development of this project which starts from project title
selection up to the complete project submission is presented in this section.
During my design I have followed a series of methods. The major ones are described as follows;
By observing the company
By interviewing the work mans of the company and my company advisor
By referring different books
By searching from internet
Identifying part components which are needed for the machine
Checking availability and manufacturability of those components

Material selection
Numerical analysis
• strength of material
Truck classification
Truck classifications are typically based upon the maximum loaded weight of the truck, typically
using the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) and sometimes also the gross trailer weight rating
(GTWR), and can vary among jurisdictions.
28
In the United States, commercial truck classification is determined based on the vehicle’s gross
vehicle weight rating (GVWR) from table 1.Trucks are also classified more broadly by the
Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), which groups classes 1–2 as light duty and 3
medium trucks.
US Duty classification Weight limit Examples

class
The design project works for the class 1 and class 2a which is approximately the mass 3856kg
and with a weight is 39000N.
Material selection plays a key role in designing a machine and also influence on several factors
such as: durability, strength, resistance which finally leads to increase the life of machine.

3. Design of the shaft for the pulley
Design on basis of strength
Given from previous design
T1= Tension in the tight side of the belt on pulley
T2= Tension in the slack side of the belt on pulley Horizontal load acting on
the shaft is
WT=T1+T2
We know that torque acting on the pulley
T=(T1-T2)d/2
Let RAV and RBV be the reactions at the bearings A and B respectively. We know that
Rav+Rbv=WT
Taking moments about at end
RBV*C=WT*d/2

Bending moment along vertical the will be
MH= Rav*d/2
The resultant bending moment will be M= MH
Effective twisting moment or torque (Te is the equivalent twisting moment may be defined as
that twisting moment, which when acting alone, produces the same shear stress (τ) as the actual
twisting moment. Since the shaft is subjected to twisting moment (T) and bending moment (M)
the equivalent twisting moment will be. Where Te is the equivalent twisting moment.

4. Modeling and system design (system analysis)
In machine design we can use two methods. The first one is specifying the size of our machine
components then we will calculate the maximum stress which will be induced on the
components. Based on the values we’ll select a material that is able to resist the maximum
induced stress. The second method is the reverse one. I.e. first, we select the material then we
will determine the size. For the sake of simplicity, preferred one of the methods to this machine
component.
Caring capacity of the power screw is up to 39000N. There for one power screw caring
capacity is 19500N.

Figure 9 Force diagram. A, Lifting of the load, Lowering the load [1]
In Fig. above a square-threaded power screw with single thread having a mean diameter dm, a
pitch p, a lead angle l, and a helix angle c is loaded by the axial compressive force F.
The system is in equilibrium under the action of these forces, and hence, for raising the load, we
have o
We eliminate it from each of these sets of equations and solve the result for P. For
raising the load, this gives
Both equation 4.3 and 4.4 divide by and we know the relation we get
, and

To get torque multiply by mean diameter dm/2.

In shaft the following stresses may be induced,
• Shear stresses due to the transmission of torque
• Bending stresses (tensile or compressive) due to the forces acting upon gears as well as due
to the weight of the shaft itself (but the mass of the shaft is negligible so in my design we
consider only bending due to loads on the gear)
Material selection Figure 3.4 Motor
The material used for shafts should have the following properties:
• It should have high strength
• It should have good machinability.
• It should have low notch sensitivity factor.
• It should have good heat treatment properties.
• It should have high wear resistant properties.
Based on those criteria’s we select carbon steel with ultimate tensile strength of 560 N/mm2 and
yield strength of 320 N/mm2 Specific code of the material is 40 C 8 (Indian code). Property of
the material is listed table 4

Assumptions The shaft mass is negligible
Take factor of safety of 1.5
Uniform stress is induced
Shear stress is 42Mpa
Bending stress is 63Mpa
Given from previous design
T1= Tension in the tight side of the belt on pulley =261.968N
T2= Tension in the slack side of the belt on pulley =102.02N
39
Diameter of the pulleys are d1=d2=38mm
Horizontal load acting on the shaft is
WT=T1+T2=261.968N+102.02N=363.988N
We know that torque acting on the pulley
T=(T1-T2)d/2=(261.968-102.02)*0.019=3.039Nm
Let RAV and RBV be the reactions at the bearings A and B respectively. We know that
Rav+Rbv=363.968N
Taking moments about at end RBV*0.2245=WT*d/2
RBV=30.81N and Rav=333.16N
Bending moment along vertical the will be MH= Rav*d/2=333.16*0.019=6.33N
The resultant bending moment will be M= MH=6.33N
Effective twisting moment or torque (Te is the equivalent twisting moment may be defined as
that twisting moment, which when acting alone, produces the same shear stress (τ) as the
actual twisting moment. Since the shaft is subjected to twisting moment (T) and bending
moment (M) the equivalent twisting moment will be

We know that bending stress

…………………………………………………… equation 4.17
From the above two equations solve for d and we will get as follow:
The diameter of the shaft that is obtained by using effective torque is(d=11.7mm) lower than by
using effective moment(d=15.88mm). I.e. the shaft will fail by bending first. And in order to
make the design safe we need to take the larger d = 15.88=16 mm
The height from the lower base to the centroid is Let h=30mm

4.8 Bolt design for the base
Tap bolt is screwed into a tapped hole of one of the parts to be fastened without the nut.we select
screw (Tap bolts) as fastener to join the housing with the base because Screwed joints are highly
reliable in operation, convenient to assemble and disassemble, adapted to various operating
conditions and Screws are relatively cheap to produce due to standardization and highly efficient
manufacturing processes.

We select a stainless steel for producing this bolt, Specifically AISI 303 Austenitic stainless
steel. select stainless steel because; stainless steels can be cut, formed, machined and fabricated
easily. And it also has good strength. It has the following properties
