PHOTOS OF US DOING VEHICLE DEVELOPMENT WORK AROUND THE USA

AL has given this class to
 EVERY AUTOMOBILE COMPANY IN THE WORLD
From AMC to Zil, they have all attended

You will learn more AUTOMOTIVE SECRETS
 in 12 hours then you learned in a life time
This is SECRET, INSIDE the 
AUTOMOBILE DESIGN and MANUFACTURING
knowledge NEVER BEFORE available to the public
and Automotive Enthusiasts. 
(Al retired from the Big 3 last year.)

THIS IS HOW AN  ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM IS DESIGNED,
SIZED and FITTED FOR EACH NEW VEHICLE PLATFORM
This is how we design, engineer, test, where we test, why we test, and what we test for.
Al takes a basic, fundamental, no nonsense approach to vehicle engineering 
that you can do too. 

** NO PROVING GROUNDS  NEEDED **
You CAN do OUR tests,  
you can experiment and improve YOUR Vehicle.

A great deal MORE than COOLING is discussed.  COOLING affects the engine, underhood components, in cab components, aerodynamics, engine cooling, emissions and more.  How can changing the hardness of the rubber in your engine mount affect your emissions? It has to do with the cooling system. Listen and find out.  This is a
vehicle engineering seminar as well as a complete Engine Cooling seminar.

Every Gear Head, Technician, HotRod and Greasy Wrench needs
this seminar, you will learn more AUTOMOTIVE SECRETS in 12 hours then you learned in a life time because  you are getting the experience of Al's 30+ years of automotive lifetime. 

AL KARGILIS 101
** NO ENGINEERING DEGREE NEEDED **
I worked with Al for many years, I learned from Al, took all his classes and later mastered his CD-ROM.  I was a professional development engineer in the scientific laboratories for 10 years, and I can tell you that there is a very healthy population of brain dead engineers in the major automotive companies.  This class is called Kargilis 101 inside the business because that is what it is, a primer, a beginners course that takes you to advanced levels.  It is for the beginner that know NOTHING about Engine Cooling Systems.  Al takes your hand and walks you through HVAC and other vehicle systems. In the BIG 3 this class actually qualifies as educational credit towards academic achievement.

OVER $1000
That's what I'd cost you if you were with an automotive company and you wanted to attend Al's live two day class (6 hours a day).  This CD-ROM sells to the automotive companies TODAY for $300.00 each.  Al feels that the average automotive enthusiast should benefit from the same knowledge he gives every automotive company in the world and he feels that it should be affordable.  Al knows what it is like to earn a living and to be a poor student.

NOT AVAILABLE IN COLLEGE.
Unless you are going to a few specialized schools in the Detroit area, detailed classes on automotive HVAC, Cooling and other system design is NOT available.  Especially NOT from life long INDUSTRY EXPERTS such as Al Kargilis.

 Al continues to give his seminar on automotive and off highway HVAC and Engine Cooling system design on a regular basis. Al gives seminars in the United States, Europe and Asia to employees of every major automotive company in the world. Yes every automotive company and  major supplier even though he has retired from 40 hours a week at a major automotive company.  Watch the video and find out where he worked.

THIS AUCTION IS THE ENGINE COOLING SEMINAR
THERE ARE TWO SEPARATE SEMINARS
( each sold separately)
 The ENGINE COOLING Seminar- 10.5 HOURS 
and the HVAC Seminar - 12 HOURS.

Al's seminar has been mastered onto CD-ROM. The Automotive Cooling Seminar is 10.5 hours long and the HVAC seminar is 12 hours long, each on its own CD-ROM. Each is normally a two-day class. Requiring time off, travel, interruption of business and considerable cost. The CD-ROM allows employees to take the class at their desk on any normal, modern PC, MAC or Unix Box. The student can take it for 30 minutes each day, an hour, two hours, all afternoon, or all day. If the phone rings the viewer can pause the video and re-start at the exact sentence at any time. Employees who have English as a second language very much enjoy the CD-ROM because they can back up to any part, any second of the disk and listen to key points or explanations multiple times.
Al is an excellent speaker and speaks very distinctly and clearly. He is a registered Professional Engineer (P.E.) and he is an adjunct professor at Lawrence Technological University in Livonia Michigan. He is currently retired from a major automotive company.  Al is current with all systems and components. These are discussed on the CD-ROM and updates will be offered as new approaches or system parts are brought before the market for inclusion in automotive design.

A detailed class book with further details, graphs, tables and all design methods is available separately ($150) but is NOT needed to for the average person to take the class .
