Spel Chek

I halve a spelling checker,

It came with my pea see.
It plainly marks four my revue
Mistakes I dew knot sea.

Eye strike a key and type a word

And weight four it two say
Weather eye am wrong oar write
It shows me strait aweigh.

As soon as a mist ache is maid

It nose bee fore two long
And eye can put the era rite
Its rarely ever wrong.

I've scent this massage threw it,

And I'm shore your pleased too no
Its letter prefect in every weigh;
My checker tolled me sew.
Building Engines for
High Performance Applications
Part 1
The Right Combination…

 The key to an excellent running and high

performing engine starts with choosing the
right components!
The Right Combination…

A good starting point is to

design a short block that
can withstand the horse
power and torque that
your engine will be producing
Short Block Assembly
 Cylinder Block
› Nodular Iron or billet aluminum
› No casting flaws or core shift
› Thick cylinder walls & main webbing
› Steel caps, splayed caps or one-piece
assembly
Short Block Assembly
 Crankshaft
› Steel or forged
› Large radius on the journals
› Cross-drilled for improved oiling
› Counterweights appropriate for application
Short Block Assembly
 Connecting Rods
› Cast, forged, aluminum, titanium
› I-beam, H-beam
› Pressed or floating pin end
› Length
Short Block Assembly
 Pistons
› Cast, forged
› Head thickness/shape
› Weight
› Ring location/size
› Pin location/size
› Skirt shape/size
› Accumulation & oil grooves
› Coatings
