Each of our engines undergoes extensive, precision machine work to correct OEM flaws and ensure durability and reliability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEngine Block Machining:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach of our engine blocks are CNC blueprint machined using state-of-the-art CNC machines. This process ensures perfect dimensions, precise tolerances, and optimal alignment. This starts with decking the surface of the block to achieve the necessary flatness and smoothness (Ra 30 or better) required for flawless sealing with MLS head gaskets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cylinders are then diamond honed to an extremely tight tolerance to match the piston diameter (within the nearest 0.0001 inch). Following honing, the main bearing bores are line honed to establish a true, straight centerline for the crankshaft. Finally, the cylinder bores are bored to a true 90 degree angle from the crankshaft centerline.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRotational Assembly Balancing:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe balancing of the rotational assembly is crucial for eliminating vibration and maximizing engine longevity. This precision work involves checking and correcting the balance of the crankshaft, connecting rods, and pistons. The crankshaft is thoroughly checked for run-out and inspected for fatigue before being polished and ground to strict concentricity tolerances (0.0005 or less) to ensure the new bearings receive the best possible surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRods are inspected and conditioned, and all bearing clearances checked to ensure proper fitment with the new bearings. Each of the pistons, rings, and pin retainers are meticulously weight matched (to a tolerance of 2 grams or less) prior to crank balancing. Then the entire assembly is dynamically balanced on specialized equipment. This ensures that the engine runs smoothly, minimizing stress on the bearings, and extends the overall life of the components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComponents and Parts:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEngine Core Components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCylinder Block\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCrankshaft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteel Connecting Rods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStage 2 Camshaft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoated, Flycut, and Delipped Pistons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew Harmonic Balancer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChoate Engineering Billet Flex Plate (Flywheel is NOT included for manual builds!!!)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMain Bearings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRod Bearings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCam Bearings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMain Bolts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew Lifters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew Freeze Plugs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpper Oil Pan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLower Oil Pan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGaskets and Seals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew Bed Seals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRear Cover and Gasket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRear Main Seal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"Choate Performance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51213566116118,"sku":"KLZM-CEP60SWF","price":11622.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0930\/0878\/9782\/files\/0_cep60swf-klzm_normalized.jpg?v=1777123050","url":"https:\/\/www.cspracing.com\/products\/choate-performance-cep60swf","provider":"Complete Street Performance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
