Engine Blocks:
Only blocks that pass a strict quality inspection process are used. First, all engine blocks are degreased and cleaned in special industrial washers before being Magna-Fluxed to check for cracks. Every cylinder is bored to within .004 of the finished size. Next, a diamond hone is used to ensure bore geometry is held within 200 millionths of an inch. Every block is subject to a surface finish test to measure the roughness and plateau finish of the cylinder wall. (With today's lightweight motor oils and low-tension oil rings, this is critical for achieving the proper ring seal.) Blocks are checked and aligned honed through the main bearing bores to the proper factory specifications. This is critical to maintaining uniform oil clearances and good oil pressure. Once all machine work is finished on the block, it is thoroughly cleaned until it is completely grit free. Each cylinder is scrubbed with soap and water, and all oil galleys are cleaned with a high-pressure wash.
Cylinder Heads:
First, heads are totally disassembled, washed, and Magna-Fluxed to check for cracks. After head castings are machined to ensure flatness, the valve seats are cut on the latest state-of-the-art equipment, forming all three angles at once. This ensures the correct seat width and connectivity for good valve seal and heat transfer. The head is then assembled to factory tolerances using high-temperature valve stem seals, valve springs, and hardened valve locks. Each valve/spring combination is individually tested to provide the correct spring pressure and vacuum tested to ensure a tight valve seal.
Crank/Cam Shafts:
Crankshafts and Camshafts are reground to factory tolerances. The Crankshaft and Camshafts are both micro-polished to exceed the original finish, ensuring proper bearing lubrication. A final wash is done to ensure that every crank is clean. After the camshaft's lobes have been reground to the same specifications as the original cam, it is then packetized to protect the surfaces from corrosion and wear.
- Bake cleaned and then shot blasted
- Checked for bend
- Ground to size
- Oil holes chamfered
- Journals polished
- All camshafts that do not meet original specifications are replaced with new or remanufactured camshafts.
Rods:
Like every other component of the remanufactured engines, the rods are as close to perfect as possible. This helps in building the most reliable remanufactured engine on the road today.
- Every rod installed in the engines goes through a rigorous restoration process.
- Rods are chemically cleaned.
- 100% remanufactured - bores are machined to original tolerances for size and surface finish.
- Checked for bend and twist - any rod that doesn't meet exacting tolerances is discarded.
- All bushings are 100% replaced.
Engine Assembly:
Each engine is assembled in a clean and controlled environment under the supervision of a highly trained Quality Control department. Constant supervision, testing, and cross-department auditing ensure every engine gets the same attention to careful assembly and results in consistent superior quality.
Testing and Final Inspection:
Following assembly of the engine, it is put through a vigorous load-bearing run on the DYNO/SIM TEST Machine for over one hour to test its excellence, after which it heads over to the lead technician for a final inspection and approval for release to the customer.
Guarantee:
In addition, to guarantee the satisfaction of clients, a one-year Unlimited Mileage part/or replacement-only warranty is provided on all engines.
