The student may specializt in the repairing of one type of- automobi Ie engine, such as diesel engines, and can be designated accordingly. NOTE: The following complementary tasks have been incor porated to the previous ones for the purposes of this CBC: Removing and replacing the electrical circuit. Repairing and servicing the mechanical parts of the electrical circuit. Checking and charging the battery. The material can also be used for the instructions on partial aspects corresponding to the occupations belonging to the group 9-85 "Motor Vehicle Drivers'1. OPERATIONS This CBC includes the majority of operations involved in auto-mechanics but, owing to the unlimited number of opera tions and considering the variations due to the difference of component parts in different models and makes of vehicles, a fixed type of vehicle will be used as reference. This vehicle should have a gasoline 6-cylinder engine, mechanical transmission, three gears and a hydraul ic braking system. In the composition of this CBC, an exception has been introduced, i.e. grouping the OS's in the specialisation blocks as was defined in pt. 4.3 page 13 of the normative document (2nd edition). CBC Auto-Mechanics -97 It was also thought useful to include operations which, although not strictly belonging to this occupation, complement it and facilitate its use. This is the case with operations in Block 9 of the elec trical system. It should be noted however that other CBC’s on automobiles are being developed in which specialisation sections, such as electricity, upholstering, coating and painting,dieseI engines etc., are being deaIt with. TECHNOLOGICAL INFORMATION With regard.to the.TIS’s, the same exception that was made with the OS's may be applied here, as in this first CBC it was practically impossible to classify and codify the technological information. As a result the indexes VII and VIM suggested in the normative document have not been included. Later in preparing other related CBC's, the missing classification and indexes may be put in.

It is particularly useful for grading operations in order of increasing difficulty, which order is observed within each block, but could not be maintained for operations in different blocks.
