TORQUE PLATE MACHINED BLOCKS......
All Race Engineering blocks are machined with main caps and a torque plate installed. This keeps cylinder bores straight and round when the head and crankshaft are installed. As we stock all small main blocks (reduced bearing speed), they are machined for a mechanical fuel pump and are always stroker clearanced should you choose to install a larger crank. We offer with stock caps installed and with strapped main caps and ARP studs installed, which is always recommended for strokers and extreme RPM stock strokes.
We also install our modified auxilliary bearings which feed additional oil to the distributor gear and to the shaft retaining plate to help prevent wear.
