Race day @ Selinsgrove Speedway today for the STSS! See you there! (Embroidery by Primal Tee Shop LLC)

New 358 headed to a track near you. Sure are pretty when they’re new!

New Bicknell up for grabs!

Big moves for Jeff Taylor this year!

It’s always fun getting photos with our name on the hood! Here’s to 2021 #cratedivision

Steady line of crate 602’s to prep and dyno for the southern races in January!

PSA! Anyone looking to order a new engine or rebuild your current one, PLEASE DON’T WAIT! The sooner you get things in here or ordered the better. Parts are already proving to be difficult to get this off season and if you don’t get stuff in here till February or March we can’t promise you’ll have it back in time for race season. It goes in line and gets processed in the order it shows up, but if we have to wait 2 months for something to come back in stock and show up you’ll be out of time. Thank you!

This one is going to be NASTY! #devilhorns

Almost new crate 602 for sale!

It’s a shame to hide something this pretty and shiny INSIDE the engine #454sbc

I’ve been asked a few times in the last day or two what people need to do before they put their car/engine away for the year. A few simple tasks that will make everything/everybody a bit happier: 1. Fog your engine! I like the CRC Engine Stor Marine fogging oil (blue/white can). One can will last you for years, don’t buy a case. Spray down the carb for a few seconds with the engine idling and shut the ignition off while doing so. Then I like to pull the carb off and spray a l...ittle down each intake runner (basically impossible on crate engines because the dual plane intake). Pull the headers off and coat the exhaust valves nicely. Then pull spark plugs and give each cylinder a few seconds worth. Finally, turn the engine over a few times (ignition off!) to coat the cylinder walls and let it get through between the valve and valve seat. This keeps the rust at bay and helps your valve job and ring seal stay good. Good valve job, good ring seal = power. 2. Drain/clean your carburetor! A good practice on any of them but EXTRA important if running oxygenated fuel! (D109, CHP, etc) I like to pull the carb off, pull the float bowls off and hose everything down good with WD-40. If that’s not in your skill set, pull a float bowl bolt out, let the fuel drain, then roll the carb around upside down to get as much out as possible. Re-install the bolt. Then spray WD-40 down the vent tubes for several seconds and roll it around again to disperse it. 3. Valve springs. Crate guys/gals you should back your springs off unless you’re due for a new set at the beginning of next season. 358/BB we generally don’t back them off but there’s absolutely no harm in doing so. Can’t hurt. ****EDIT: If your 358/BB/solid lifter anything doesn’t have enough laps to be rebuilt, GO THROUGH YOUR VALVE LASH BEFORE YOU PUT IT AWAY. It’s silly to get ready to race in the spring just to find out you’ve got a broken valve spring, burnt up rocker tip, etc and have to scramble to try and get it fixed before the season. Those are what I’d call the main 3 items, but in addition try to clean everything the best you can. Dirt stains things, calcium corrodes, etc.

Good luck to all our competitors that plan to attend the races at Port Royal!

Crate unboxing day! #602 #604

Congratulations Ryan Watt and the 14W team for a fantastic weekend of results!

DYNO NUMBERS...... (Long post warning, but there’s a point to all this if you stick with me) First thing most people want to know, how much does it cost and how much power does it make? Anyone that has dealt with us will testify to the fact we don’t brag about dyno numbers, we rarely tell you actual numbers and VERY rarely will you ever see a dyno sheet. It’s well known. Why you ask? Because dyno numbers are just a number. They don’t necessarily dictate how well an engine wil...l compete or how it feels on the track. The shape of the torque and power curve is what gives the driver the feel of an engine. Steep torque curve gives you something that’s explosive and hard to drive, but it’s not because it makes a lot of power. It’s how it’s delivered. You can have the most powerful engine on the racetrack, but if it has an extremely smooth, gradual curve it could feel flat or lazy. There’s lots to it. That being said, I’m actually on my couch at 2:53am, having been awake for the past hour because my mind won’t let me sleep. I’m bothered by something that went on this week at the shop. It’s happened plenty of times in the past, but I guess I’ve just finally had enough and I want people to be informed. Two engines showed up this week from competitors. WITH dyno sheets. We like to run engines we have no history on before tear down so we can get an accurate idea of what we want to change. So we did. Now, our dyno is stingy, always has been. But I’d rather have it read low than ridiculously high (unless we’re handing out dyno sheets, see where this is headed? ). So one of these 900 horse power engines people love to brag about made an actual 795 hp on our dyno. Full disclosure, it had his carb, 300-400 laps on it since fresh and is in good health. A couple days later we ran the other engine that showed up. This one had a sheet showing 845 hp. Engine was run with the carburetor it was dynoed with originally and had 900 laps on it (has been disassembled since and was in very good health). 756 hp. 100hp (average) loss their dyno to ours. One HUNDRED. Why? How? I wish I could tell you. All dynos will vary from one another, this is true. I HOPE it’s the difference in dynos and not people selling bullshit numbers. But honestly I can’t make myself believe, that with modern technology, you’ll see that big of a spread unless it’s deliberate. 20-30hp, I’d buy that. 100 I can’t. This is why I’m awake. It bothers me. Don’t buy a dyno sheet, it’s a useless piece of paper. THE NUMBERS DON’T MEAN WHAT YOU THINK THEY DO. See more

Michael has made steady progress all summer and we wish him the best of luck this fall!

Thanks Bob! We love these projects.
