We were contacted about some issues with a crankshaft that was done by another facility in FL.  Upon finding out more regarding this terrible work performed on this factory VG crank we were left a bit baffled but none the less it was a challenge we knew we could take on and fix for our client.

The issues that presented themselves were due to an improper balance job on the crank and incorrectly modified counterweights in an effort to reduce drag/windage in the crankcase.

As you can see we achieved what we set out to do which was repair and salvage this clients crankshaft all the while updating details for a new short block build we did for him.

We had the pleasure of building a VG30DETT for a good client in Australia.  He wanted a consistent 800+HP assembly so we went and developed a few key parts that would get him his wants/needs

This assembly is full of the best parts on the market for a VG30 and our client spared no expense on getting the right parts for his application build

We received this EJ in that was previously built by another shop on the east coast.  We were told it experienced rod knock but they weren’t sure on what cylinder.

We went straight to work on tearing down this assembly to find out quite a bit was wrong to include the rod bearing failure issue.

After discussing with the client all his options he took the reigns in giving us the green light to fix any and all problems and also decided to upgrade things while we were in the build.

Our modification list for this assembly:

Manley HD Pistons
Manley Tuff Rods
King bearings
ARP case bolts and head studs
ACL 12mm Oil pump (coated gearing)
Tomei Headgaskets

We are excited to see what this engine assembly puts out with all the modifications we’ve done for our client.
