Executive Summary

The following report analyzes the GM V-6 engine through the reverse engineering process. The analysis is composed of 4 main steps or gates; planning, dissection, analysis and explanation. The first gate consists of the work proposal and the overall plan for the dissection of the engine, as well as general information on use, energy flows, complexity and materials used. Before the engine was taken apart, speculations were made on the tools to be used for dissection. These speculations got the group thinking and planning for future tasks. The group members were analyzed and given roles and responsibilities to be held throughout the analysis process. A time frame for different tasks necessary to the project was also proposed in the first gate.

The second gate provides step by step documentation on the dis-assembly of the engine. The difficulty of each step is given based on a number scale devised to describe the effort needed at each step of the process. The dissection process is given as a table, providing notes, photos, tools used, number of bolts removed, and the difficulty rating for each step. Following the dis-assembly process is a written report on the connection of the engine's subsystems, describing in detail the interaction of each subsystem and how they work together to perform the overall function. A flow chart is also provided, which breaks down the engine into its subsystems and describes the energy input required at each subsystem level. The energy input results in an engine output, which is documented in the chart.
