ABSTRACT

Our project is chiefly aimed at to study the overhauling of T-72 V-46-6 Engine, its
various parts, their maintenance, and assembling them into one single entity.
Various design parameters have to be taken care of for a tank engine ,some of
which are high power, low space occupancy, light weight and easy to maintain and
run. Considering these things in mind, a 4 stroke V-12 diesel power plant has been
placed in a T-72 tank. Next step is to understand various steps involved in its
overhauling and the proper stages flow chart in which the work is done. Various
steps are there in this process which includes stripping, cleaning, degreasing of the
engine. Then various parts of the engine are separately overhauled and problems
due to fatigue, wear and tear are solved out by machining processes. Then various
overhauled components are assembled to make the complete engine. After that
testing of the engine takes place in which various parameters of the engine are
tested such as performance, fuel efficiency, power, emission, leakage etc. If a
engine passes all the tests, then it is stored and later dispatched.
