Title: Identify engine vibration problems.
Course: Diesel Equipment Technology II (20107-II) > Section: Diesel Engines: General

Identification should include

- verifying the severity of the vibration and the condition in which it is most apparent
- determining vibration specification (if applicable)
- performing a visual inspection for missing, loose, or failed components
- demonstrating the use of a vibration meter
- isolating the problem to revolutions per minute (RPM) range, if possible.

Process/Skill Questions:

- What is the maximum vibration specification?
- What is the difference between amplitude, frequency, and resonance?
- Why should engine mounts be inspected?
