Just add a main girdle to support the main caps from twisting under load and a race balancer to protect the engine from nasty harmonics. Also have the ports on the crank shaft chamfered for better oil flow. Have the block sonically tested for wall thickness and find someone that uses a torque plate when they bore and hone the block to ensure a perfectly cylindrical bore. Then you need the engine blueprinted by someone that knows how to get the tolerances right. I used Atomic for all the machine work and then assembled it all myself. Brad is very helpful and will be able to help you out. With the right rods the engine will be good for over 600rkw. Good luck with your build.

spoolxr6 Member 312 Member For: 13y 4m 13d Posted 21/06/11 11:34 AM Share Posted 21/06/11 11:34 AM See if you can negotiate with them. Find out how much the quote is from where they want the work done and then you pay the difference from where you want the work done. Otherwise you are just going to have to go with who they want which is going to be the cheapest probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
