We’ll cover the highlights of crankshaft design and then we’ll discuss all the things you need to check before you load it in the block for the first time.
The companies that founded SEMA were started by people who loved cars and trucks and turned their hobby into a career. Most people in the industry today still feel this way. That’s one of the things that makes SEMA and its members unique.

For every person who wants to start building race cars, there is a different style of getting the job done…We’re not going to tell you which is better, but we will share with you what we’ve done ourselves. And, we’ll cheerfully tell you that we’ll be doing it differently in two months because, just like you, we’re still learning and improving…With that, let’s explore some of the things we’ve learned and you can sort through them and see if any of them will work for you in your shop.
Gasoline ain’t what it used to be, and it’s only going to get worse. Here, Henry gives us an intro to a tuning topic that’s often overlooked, with more installments to follow
If you’re like a lot of mechanics I’ve known, you’ve probably circled the brave new world of performance engine and race car building like a shark at a shipwreck since first discovering internal combustion. Come on in… the water’s fine!
Our man Greg relates some egregious examples of the things that can be done wrong during the building of a high-performance engine. You’ll learn a lot of interesting stuff here.
