What do you have??

Val - It was not Pauter that was slow. Remember we had those rods last year when you first purchased them. Then you when to work for all that time and we held the rods here untill you came back from work this year. So the rods were already a over a year old. The real problem with the rods was...

I would say crank, and I can not relate that to psi as psi is not 100% spot on with your HP level. PSI and HP do not equal each other. 20 psi on a high flow head with a gt45 turbo is one HP level and 20 psi on a stock head with an upgraded ct is another. If you have anything more than a stock...

What IJ is doing is protecting the other readers who might read your mis-informed post, then go out and try installing a bent crank into a straight hole, then having the bearings wear funny. When I read your post, it sounds as if you think bolting down the crank into the mains will make the...

What excessive heat do you keep speaking of? If you are just looking at the crank, there is little to learn about how hot it got. All that blue is from the factory. Many things can cause a bearing failure. That why I was asking about your bearings. The last motor I fixed for some one had rod...

If your old oem stuff is still up to the task of being upgraded to a higher spring rate, then yes, all you need to buy is the springs.

A felpro works fine for 350 hp and under. That deformation is caused by exceeding a composite gaskets cylinder pressure holding capacity. I call that "pushing" a gasket. When you push out a gasket, you overcame its ability to hold the pressure in the combustion chamber. Be it from detonation...

It is not that I cannot rent one, it is I will not rent one. You see, I manufacture them for sale, so if I rented them, I would be shooting myself in the foot.

The blue color is on every crank. That is from the hardening process when new. Are the failed bearings factory original or aftermarket replacements? How did you come to the conclusion that oil starvation caused your problem?

Plenty of people have just installed the new forged parts without balancing and had it work fine. Our crank is some what balanced from the factory. The damper is balanced, and the flywheel/flexplate is balanced. So in theory, if you install a rod/piston combination across all 6 holes that are...

Yes, you need the lower seats. Spring steel pressing, chattering, and rubing on aluminum is not healthy play time.. It will slowly eat up the aluminum surface as Ian said, and will also add aluminum powder to your oil. It is a tight fit, but they will fit. Brandon - That machine work you...

A valve job is a rebuilding process, not a performance upgrade. If the valves and seats are worn out then you need a valve job. The springs can be tested to see if they are still in spec.

It is needed if your head needs a valve job. But is not needed for for your hp goal.

Yes, if you install ARP bolts, you MUST resize the big end.

The same bolts that hold the bellhousing to the block will hold the block to the motor stand.

Titan gasket is a Cometic gasket. There is no difference.

Vlad - Ian is correct on the polishing. The most it will do is keep build up from collecting for a little longer than an unpolished one. In the end, it will still collect. If you was to run this motor in a class event drag race where the head would come off often then yes a polish would help...

The GTK series - I have not heard very good feedback on the GTK line. You will spool the y2k with little problem. Gary Curmi in Malta used a y2k 88 on his 7m dragster with a std stroke and had very little trouble spooling it. The y2k you will be hard to find a bad word about them. Quick spool...

Vladimir - turbonetics quit making the y2k 78 a while before you ordered that turbo and they made your turbo special. It is a one off custom 78 that uses some y2k 80mm internals. All the y2k's are t-6 flange. Your turbo is better than the off the shelf 78. suscribed for the high end 7m build...

As already mentioned, the simple cure for a warp head if it passes a hardness test is to just aline bore the cam journals after milling the gasket surface. We do it all the time.
