The "base" of any race motor! If the block is machined properly the - engine stays together. When we build an engine, the block is completely thermal-cleaned, shot blasted and thoroughly inspected for any inconsistencies that will limit potential horsepower. |

Cylinder walls are measured to determine any "core-shift" that may have occurred during OEM casting. Prior to the boring operation, any slight variance is corrected to ensure the maximum possible wall thickness. |
|
Boring to 5" diameter. Piston-to-wall clearances and excellent cylindricity are accurately established during this operation - and always with the main caps torqued to proper specifications. |

|
Honing - always with a torque plate - to exacting specifications and the proper pattern for excellent ring sealing. "Plateau" finish is available! |
|
Decking to ensure flatness of the block to the mating cylinder heads - a must for high compression engines! |
|

|
Line-honing of mains. The stability of the crankshaft in a high-revving engine is maintained with concentric mains - accomplished by line honing! |
