Shop Tour
Inside
the Shop
Every racing engine is machined, inspected and assembled under one roof. No outsourced machining. No shortcuts. Just precision craftsmanship.
The Workshop
Every Area,
Every Detail
Where Every Build Begins
Every engine that enters the shop is completely disassembled and cleaned before a single measurement is taken. Parts are cleaned, degreased, and inspected under proper lighting. Nothing is assumed — everything is verified.
Metal Removal With Intent
The machine room is where tolerances are set. Block boring, line honing, surface grinding — every cut is measured twice and made with purpose. The goal is not speed. The goal is accuracy.
Airflow Is Performance
Heads are resurfaced, valve seats are cut and hand-lapped, and ports are shaped for maximum flow efficiency. Each head leaves the bench with a leak test and a flow sheet.
Where Precision Becomes Power
Assembly happens in a clean, controlled environment. Every clearance is checked, every torque spec is followed, and every component is installed with the same care it was machined with. This is where the engine becomes whole.
Inside the Process
How Every Engine
Gets Built
- 01
Engine Arrives
The engine is received, tagged, and documented before anything is touched.
- 02
Inspection
Every component is measured and checked against factory and race specs. Cracks are checked, bores are measured, surfaces are indicated.
- 03
Cleaning
Parts are thoroughly cleaned, degreased, and pressure-washed. No machine work begins until parts are clean.
- 04
Machining
Boring, honing, surfacing, line honing — all performed in-house on dedicated equipment.
- 05
Precision Measurement
Bearing clearances, deck heights, piston-to-wall clearances, and ring gaps are all blueprinted to spec.
- 06
Assembly
Components are assembled in a clean environment. Every torque spec is followed. Every seal is seated. Every clearance re-checked.
- 07
Final Quality Check
Every completed engine is inspected a final time before it leaves the shop. Nothing ships without Paul's sign-off.
Equipment Showcase
The Machines
Behind the Work
Line Hone
Precision bore alignment across all main bearing saddles for correct crankshaft geometry.
Cylinder Hone
Diamond abrasive honing for correct bore geometry, crosshatch finish, and ring seal.
Block Resurfacer
CBN cutting head for perfectly flat deck surfaces and consistent head gasket sealing.
Cylinder Head Machine
Multi-axis head surfacing and valve seat cutting platform for all head configurations.
Crankshaft Balancer
Dynamic balancing at operating RPM range to eliminate vibration and extend bearing life.
Valve Seat Machine
Three-angle seat cutting for precision valve sealing and maximum flow efficiency.
Spring Tester
Verifies valve spring pressure and installed height to spec before assembly.
In-House Capabilities
Everything
Happens Here
Every critical machining operation is performed in-house by Paul himself. No sending parts out. No waiting on subcontractors. No compromises on quality.
Engine Machining
Boring, honing, and surface grinding performed on dedicated in-house equipment.
Cylinder Heads
Valve jobs, seat cutting, head porting, and resurfacing all under one roof.
Balancing
Dynamic crankshaft and rotating assembly balancing for smooth power delivery.
Blueprinting
Every clearance documented and verified — bearing, ring gap, deck height, and valve train geometry.
Assembly
Complete engine assembly in a clean environment following OEM and race-spec torque sequences.
Inspection
Pre- and post-build measurement and documentation to ensure every engine leaves to spec.
The smallest measurements make the biggest difference.
Every engine that leaves this shop is individually measured, machined, and assembled with attention to tolerances — not production volume. Bearing clearances are checked with a micrometer, not guessed. Ring gaps are filed to spec, not assumed. Deck heights are documented, not skipped. The difference between a race engine and a rebuilt engine is not the parts. It's the process.
