Magnaflux crack testing, the metal powder stands up along this crack.

Torque plate honing ensures a perfectly straight and round bore.

One way of measuring the bearings oil clearance on the rod journal.

Custom porting and cylinder head building, note the screw in studs, guideplates, beehive springs and porting on the left-hand head. The right-hand head is a stock 5.9L 360 Magnum head. The left-hand head is a JTR custom built EQ head for Magnum Engines.

This block has been stepped at the bottom of the bore to be sleeved.

This sleeve is installed with a 0.001-0.002” interference fit.

Measuring crankshaft end play on this 350, 0.0045” on this one.

The sleeve has been milled flush and is ready for final finishing.

This was a beautiful block that was brought in to be cleaned up.

Here is a front view of the cleaned up rusty block.

Here is a side view of the old rusty block after blasting was finished.

A 5.0L GM Boat Engine full of seeds… brought in through the exhaust by a mouse.

The cylinder head packed with seeds after the engine was turned over to start and didn’t start for some reason.

A shot of some of the seed in the ports on the exhaust. There was 2-3lbs of seed removed from this engine.

SBC #186 Head after a full rebuild.

This is a cracked balancer taken off of a brand new crate engine that we checked over for a customer.

Very bad exhaust seat work from a crate engine that was brought into us new to be inspected.

Here is the same seat after having a DuraBond hardened seat installed and cut to the head prior to final blending. The valve would have pulled through the head if this wasn’t corrected.

Here is a factory sbc rod and a 3D stroker style rod side by side to show the additional cam clearance afforded by the stroker rod.

Custom angle backcuts on some factory valves to comply with some class rules but make more power.
