    Well I've been busy with A LOT over here with getting the shop tweaked and taking care of customers here and abroad (Jesse your heads are shipping out next week!!! :) ). But through all this time in getting things moving I got a chance to build an engine for a customer in South Carolina who will be running some HKS 2530s. He got a lot of things done to this engine that I was happy to be able to incorporate into his build.

    He originally had a shop in his area do the shortblock work for him but upon receiving it back from his local shop he soon found out after I did a look over for him that A LOT was missing and not done right. So the engine was put on a pallet and headed down to my shop to undergo a full freshen/rebuild. This customers build list is as follows:

    EP Racing Prepped Block
    Balanced Crank
    Polished Crank
    Tigged Center weight
    Wiseco 88mm Pistons
    Eagle Rods
    New restrictors/check valves
    Brass Freeze plugs
    Cometic HG
    Ferrea 1mm oversized valves
    JWT HD springs
    Z1 HL 14 Cams
    Ferrea Retainers
    Viton High Temp seals
    EP Racing Street Port Cylinder heads
    EP Racing Modified Lower Plenum
    ARP Hardware
    AMS Manifolds
    Clevite Rod/Main Bearings
    EP Racing Crankscraper/Windage Kit
    EP Racing Piston Coating Service
    EP Racing Bearing Coating Service
    EP Racing Manifold Coating Service
    EP Racing Turbine Housing Coating Service
    EP Racing Exhaust Port Coating Service
    EP Racing Combustion Chamber Coating Service
    EP Racing Exhaust Manifold Porting Service
    EP Racing Cylinder Bore Coating Service
    EP Racing Ported Oil Pump

    I can't remember the rest..lol

    Anyways here are a few pics of this customer engine from start to final long block assembly...

    What are you measuring here? And how would you change anything if it was out?

    I'm measuring true top dead center to check to see where the piston is in relation to the deck. I always do it to check my calculations on my surfacing to get my piston to deck properly set. There is a lot to be said in having the right figure in checking where the piston sits in the hole.

    customer told me he's having it tuned next month. I can only hope he gets it done and posts his feedback.

    He contacted me not too long ago with some minor issues with boost leaks and such. Outside of that I'm just waiting for his input from his tune and so forth. He has all the right parts and so forth and the build is pretty stout. The only thing I would have suggested to him would be to increase his camshaft profile to something a bit larger and he needs to bump up to 3" exhaust and so forth. I believe he's getting his 2.5" IC piping done/installed soon as well.

    Only time will tell.
