CRATE ENGINE build -UPAt Ford Motor Company, Quality is Job 1 and that extends to every facet of the business, including CRATE engines from Ford Racing Performance Parts (FRPP).

2 Ford Racing CRATE engines are built with quality components, undergo rigorous testing both on a dyno and at the track and are assembled to exacting CRATE engines begin with many new components, including rods and pistons, cylinder heads and the finest gaskets and seals available. Only after everything is assembled to Ford s strict standards do the FRPP CRATE engines earn the right to wear the Ford help illustrate FRPP s commitment to excellence, we walked through and photographed the CRATE ENGINE assembly line to showcase some of the many steps that FRPP engines go through to ensure that customers receive one of the highest quality CRATE engines on the market.

The completed engines are run for approximately 20 minutes during this ensure accuracy of compression ratios of the sealed CRATE engines (M-6007-D347SR/M-6007-Z351SR), combustion chamber volumes are checked and corrected, if necessary, to achieve proper piston gets measured and weighed before they are put together in matched sets using strict rods are inspected to make sure they meet specifications.

4 The bearing bore is studied for taper, bore size and roundness. Then, weight is checked at the big and small end of the connecting rod and sets are PROCEDURES HIGHLIGHTED ABOVE SERVE TO ILLUSTRATE THE RIGOROUS CONTROLS THAT GO INTO BUILDING FRPP S HIGH-QUALITY PUSHROD CRATE is done by a computer-controlled cylinder hone using diamond stones; the final step is plateau ENGINES66 Techline (800) FORD788 See pages 2-8 for important safety, emissions and warranty information. CAMMER ENGINE CAMMER ENGINENot long ago, the term dual over-head cam ENGINE was reserved for the high-tech Racing community.

5 Although the DOHC technology employed in mainstream production engines is almost commonplace today, the technical procedures to machine and assemble a modern DOHC ENGINE are rather to the Windsor-based Ford V-8 ENGINE family, the modular four-valve engines require greater attention to detail regarding machining, torque sequences and number of fasteners ( , the overall complexity of the assembly process itself). The following photographs offer an inside look at the build of a dual overhead cam V-8 down the same line as the CNC machine is used to bore the cylinders on center, deck the block and chamfer the tops of the cylinder of the cylinder bores is accomplished via a Gehring CNC honing, all cylinder bores are inspected for concentricity and final heads are checked with inches of vacuum to ensure the integrity of valve main bearing cap bolts are torqued down to spec by an automated torquing 67 CRATEENGINESSee pages 2-8 for important safety.

6 Emissions and warranty Ford Racing Performance Parts Aluminator motor is the ultimate high-performance derivative of the Ford ENGINE . Others might make modular engines, but only FRPP engines are backed by the Ford Oval. Whether you want a FRPP Aluminator for the performance, the exclusivity or the looks, Ford know-how is with you every step of the way. And with 100 years of Racing success behind it, that means you are getting the very best! ENGINE oil has a dye added to it that shows up under black light to reduce the possibility of undetected coolant passages are air-pressure checked to make sure there are no leaks in the block, heads or a final step, ENGINE assemblies are run for 20 minutes to inspect for oil and water leaks and to check oil the short block is completed, the rotating effort is checked to verify proper assembly facilitates checking for compression, oil pressure.
