 | Engine blocks and heads are oven baked at 700°F for seven hours, then
shot blasted with 170 gauge steel shot to provide ultimate cleaning. |
 | Vibratory shakers are used to thoroughly clean small components such as
valve springs, valve keepers, retainers and pushrods. |
 | Engine blocks are bored using the latest computer technology. Computers
probe each block to determine cylinder centers and check surface dimensions.
The computer then selects the correct tool for boring. |
 | To make sure that cylinders are not out of round or tapered, six-blade
diamond honing machines are used to achieve highly accurate diameter and
cross hatch patterns. |
 | Every department has a final Quality Control check point where 100 percent
of components must meet strict quality standards before they are allowed to
move on. For example, each engine receives a static oil pressure test,
dynamometer testing and a water jacket air pressure test. |
 | State-of-the art manufacturing processes such as Statistical Process
Control (SPC) help analyze production trends and prevent quality problems
from occurring. |
 | Final assembly is performed by highly-trained assemblers with years of
experience. |
 | After assembly, the oil system, water jacket integrity and cylinder
compression are tested to provide customers with high quality, dependable
remanufactured engines. |
