Are you looking for a rebuilt 225? Normally using the term "crate engine" refers to new engine in a crate. Dave |

Boy, why did I build my own engine? I would have ordered a "crate slant" from Sandy in BC... That's a deal! |

I want it! Can't justify it currently though. Maybe if that tree hadn't jumped in front of me. |

Yeah, and they sometimes take short cuts on these short or long blocks...(I especially love my buddy getting a nice Ford Big Block a few years back with 2 rod bearings at 20 under and the others are 10 under...you don't get moly rings either...-D.idiot |

Don't buy a engine from a parts house. Buy from someone you can talk to , work out any problems or hold responsible if something goes wrong. Don't go for the cheapest price go for the best quality you can afford. |

Oh, my goodness, that's true. Don't go for the cheapest price go for the best quality you can afford. Here's some criteria REQUIRED to have a good motor when done... 1. Boring AND honing MUST be done with a torque plate, done to a proper plateau (base metal) finish. This means a two (minimum) pass boring job, a multi-step hone job, that ends with a super fine ball hone finish, so that the cylinder walls have a super fine finish. 2. Pistons must be measured and cylinders bored and honed to the precise match. Pistons often have variations in size which need to be matched for to get the best fit. 3. Valve seats are not optional these days. 4. Bronze guides are also essential if you want a long, long life and good valve guide accuracy. 5. Top quality valves are essential. 6. Bearing clearance is NOT "tighter is better". The machinist should finish your journals to match the bearings you have, and I'd suggest being the top 1/3 clearance. 7. There is no substitute for a roller timing chain and degreeing the cam is essential for best performance. 8. Cam break-in shouldn't be ignored or improperly done. 9. Rods should be reconditioned and properly refitted for accurate sizing. Balancing is a great way to have a really, REALLY nice running motor. To be honest, few rebuilders and few machine shops will build a motor properly. I wouldn't even consider buying a rebuilder's motor. Ever. I go and talk to the machinist himself, and if he doesn't immediately insist on doing certain things, he just never gets my work. So far, in my area, I have ONE shop I trust to do the work right, out of dozens. He builds race motors and has for 40 years. And it costs about 100 dollars more to have him do stuff, over the mass production shop. |
