Problem ProcessProposed Solution
Group M1.2 - Intertek Senior Design GroupProject Manager: Zane Gooden
Group Members: Dieudonne Dusingizimama, Luis Ortiz, Brandon SekulaSponsored by Intertek Automotive Research
We are working on optimization of Intertek’s chain wear test build for the 4‐cylinder Ford Eco‐Boost engine
Currently the process is not fully optimized
Focused on reducing build time, part rework, and maintaining build quality
Current fixes include: ball hone method fix, oil filter housing jig, valve spring compressor attachment, engine timing tool, and valvetrain organizer

ConceptualizationCustomer needs: Reduce build time Maintain test accuracy Reduce part rework Reduce overall cost, if
applicableInitial Ideas: Oil Filter Housing Jig Valve Spring Compressor
Attachment Workspace Organization Ball Hone Method Fix Engine Timing Tool Application of RTV Fix Main Bearing installation jig
A= 2tan‐1 Reciprocating SpeedRotational Speed
Reciprocating Speed = tan (A/2) * Rotational Speed
Current Work Prototyping our designs Improving the design
prototypes to verify functionality
Re‐prototyping until design satisfies its requirements
Current Work Manufacture and assemble
our fixes Test fixes inside the process Continually improve them
until they are exceptional
Valvetrain assembly organizer Oil filter housing jig
Valve Spring Compressor attachment
Engine Timing Tool
Ball Hone method fix
Compresses two vales instead of the single valve currently
Organizes the valvetrain assembly to reduce messes
Times the engine without removing the oil pump while on test stand
Jig to align the oil filter to allow a hole to be drilled to insert a thermocouple to test oil temperature
Create a method to standardize the ball hone process with a metronome
