HARLAN The Performance Build Center isn’t like a typical assembly line.
A single skilled craftsman moves the engine from station to station,
hand-fitting the exotic components—the forged steel crank, forged
titanium connecting rods, flat-top aluminum pistons, titanium intake
valves, hollow stem sodium-filled exhaust valves and dry-sump oiling
system. All stuff that was inspired by racing, where lightweight yet
strong components are essential.
TADGE At one station, the forged crankshaft is lowered into the engine
block. At another, the camshaft is installed. The crank and cam are
torque-tested. A computer-controlled torque wrench tightens nearly
every nut and bolt on the engine, and every torque is recorded. So you’ve
got very tight control over the assembly. An engine cannot proceed to
the next station if it fails a computer test, and the builder can pull an
engine off the line if he spots something thats not perfect. The completed
engine is briefly run through a portion of its rpm range, with horsepower
and torque values recorded for quality control. A computer determines
whether weights need to be added to the damper or flywheel for balance.
HARLAN After balancing, the engine is dynoed for about 20 minutes at
full output. When the three-and-a-half-hour engine build is complete,
you’ll know exactly who built your engine. The craftsman’s name is on it.
