	This is Group 4's final presentation of our dissasembly project. Our group was assigned a Lawn Mower Engine, and this project consisted of five required deliverable gates, as listed at the bottom of this page. The 5th gate consisted of a final Wikipedia page such as this. Our group members are listed below, and with this are the jobs and tasks that each person was assigned to do. Our Management and Project Plans are listed on this page for easy access, and this information can also be found via the link in Gate 1. Throughout the navigation of this site, information can be found as to what tools were used, how difficult each component was to dissasemble, recommended design revisions, as well as other various pieces of information. We hope that you find this information well suitable to your needs.		This is Group 4's final presentation of our dissasembly project.

-Our group plans to meet on a regular basis with specific objectives in mind each meeting.  We plan to meet Mondays and Wednesdays, after class lecture at 5:00PM, in the project lab (Furnas 621).   If needed, we will also meet on Thursdays in this same location at 3:30PM to finish what was not completed at the previous meetings.  We can be contacted about our progress through the group manager’s email, sblyons@buffalo.edu.  The group positions are as follows:  Sean Lyons is the Project Manager, Jessie Allen is the Communication Liaison, Bhushan Karayilthekkoot is the Solid Modeling Expert, and Tom Schuler is the Wiki Expert.  A table of our intended work timeline and position responsibilities outline are given below:

 Along with these individual group tasks, each member is expected to contribute to the project write-ups as a whole to distribute work fairly and evenly.

 ==Work Plan==
-After the group’s first assessment of the lawn mower engine, we believe that disassembly process should run fairly smoothly. Judging from the mower engine’s external condition and the ability to hear compression in the engine, we concluded the engine is most likely fully functional. We estimate that the engine disassembly process should take between one to two hours. This is merely an estimate. Any unexpected discrepancies with the engine disassembly could possibly delay completion of dissection.  This would include, but not limited to, remembering where all of the littler parts for the motor itself go.

Any unexpected discrepancies with the engine disassembly could possibly delay completion of dissection.  This would include, but not limited to, remembering where all of the smaller parts for the motor itself go.
 Evaluating the machine from the outside and using the group’s knowledge of small internal combustion engines, we compiled a list of tools that will be required for the dissection process. Tools not on the list may be needed once the dissection begins and/or during reassembly.
