This Australian Standard was prepared by Committee CS/78, Automotive Repairs
Terminology. It was approved on behalf of the Council of Standards Australia on
18 January 1994 and published on 21 March 1994.
Review of Australian Standards. To keep abreast of progress in industry, Australi an Standards are subject
to periodic review and are kept up to date by the issue of amendments or new editi ons as necessary. It is
important therefore that Standards users ensure that they are in possession of the latest edit ion, and any
amendments thereto.
Full detail s of all Australian Standards and related publi cati ons wil l be found in the Standards Australi a
Catalogue of Publications; this information is supplemented each month by the magazine ‘The Australian
Standard’, which subscribing members receive, and which gives detail s of new publi cati ons, new edit ions
and amendments, and of withdrawn Standards.
Suggesti ons for improvements to Australi an Standards, addressed to the head off ice of Standards Australia,
are welcomed. Notif ication of any inaccuracy or ambiguit y found in an Australi an Standard should be made

Automotive repairs—Code
of practice for reconditioning

PREFACE
This Standard was prepared by the Standards Australia Committee on Automotive Repairs
Terminology and arise out of submissions by the automotive repairs industry, consumer and
government organizations.
The objective of this Standard is to minimize the confusion in relation to the practice of
reconditioning or remanufacturing reciprocating spark ignition automotive and industrial
engines to ensure uniformity of procedures within the engine reconditioning industry.
The terms ‘normative’ and ‘informative’ have been used in this Standard to define the
application of the appendix to which they apply. A ‘normative’ appendix is an integral part
of a Standard, whereas an ‘informative’ appendix is only for information and guidance.

Automotive repairs— Code of practice for reconditioning
reciprocating spark ignition engines
this Standard.
2 DEFINITIONS For the purpose of this Standard the definitions below apply.
2.1 Cylinder head assembly — a reconditioned cylinder head fitted with valves and
associated springs and retainers.
2.2 Long engine assembly—a short engine assembly together with a cylinder head
assembly and all those components fitted within both assemblies and including the rocker or
cam cover, sump and oil pump. The whole presented as an assembly.
2.3 Manufacturer’s specification—specification as originally supplied by the engine
manufacturer. In instances where the after market component manufacturer provides a
different specification to suit a particular product or uprated design, then the term may be
taken to include component manufacturer.
2.4 Reclaimed component—a component which has been found to be beyond normal
reconditioning sizes but which is rendered suitable for normal service by acceptable
reclaiming techniques.
2.5 Reconditioned (remanufactured) engine—describes an engine which has—
(a) been dismantled, cleaned, inspected, i.e. crack testing, pressure testing or visual
examination whichever is applicable;
(b) had the components inspected and machined where necessary to the manufacturer’s
specifications and finishes;
(c) had new parts, as defined in this Standard, installed as required; and
(d) had the engine assembled to manufacturer’s clearances and specified fastener torque
procedures.
NOTE: This term may be applied to—
(i) the customer’s own engine being reconditioned; or
(ii) a reconditioned exchange engine.
2.6 Replacement components—new items as specified for the given application.
NOTE: It is preferable that the replacement components be sourced from a supplier who can
support their products with a warranty, the terms to be determined between the reconditioner and
the component supplier.
2.7 Shall—indicates that a statement is mandatory.
