Rancang Bangun Alat Teardown Reciprocating Engine Sebagai Alat Bantu Praktik Reassembly Engine Avco Lycoming Type O-320 Piston Engine

Abstract

In aircraft engine maintenance, there are several stages, one of which is  reassembly. To reassemble the engine piston, a reciprocating engine teardown tool  is usually used. A reciprocating engine teardown is a tool to simplify the installation  and disassembly practice of opposed piston engines. Because by looking at the  current conditions, this Reciprocating Engine Teardown Tool does not yet exist at  the Makassar Aviation Polytechnic and Cadets only carry out Reassembly practices  on work tables. The purpose of making this teardown tool design is to assist cadets in carrying out  engine reassembly practices. The design of this teardown tool uses components of  steel angle iron, flat iron, and general steel tool flange where the selection of this  iron aims to support the engine optimally. The result obtained from the design of this reciprocating engine teardown tool is  the creation of a tool that can function as a practice aid in workshop A of the  Makassar Aviation Polytechnic. This tool can support overhaul practices when  reassembling the engine in a less time-consuming and more effective manner. With  this tool 98.8% of cadets "Strongly Agree" with this reciprocating engine teardown  tool.
