Engine Bottom End

Performing an engine bottom end repair requires the highest level of precision and cleanliness. This section focuses on the “short block” components—the foundation of your engine’s power. We provide detailed tutorials on inspecting crankshaft journals, measuring main and rod bearing clearances with Plastigage. And properly installing piston rings to ensure a perfect seal. Whether you are troubleshooting a deep engine knock or performing a performance build, these guides cover the critical torque specs. And assembly lubes needed to ensure your engine’s rotating assembly survives for hundreds of thousands of miles.
