• Bored and line hone the crank bore housing to precisely align the crankshaft in the engine block.
• The piston diameter measured to the nearest .0001 inch matched to cylinder bores.

  What you need to know about Choate Vs. the Competition. We have put together a list of videos for all processes we do to this engine. It is your responsibility to educate yourself about the differences.

To do so we made that easier with this compilation of videos!

This is why we machine the crankshaft for an upgraded keyway!

What is Blueprint Boring?

This is why we square deck the block!

Why we only use the Rottler hone for YOUR engine!

Why do we encourage you to buy a long block instead of a short block?
