Pretty cool to get a behind the scenes look at what goes into building a forged FA24.
Today Tyler from walked me through some of the critical measuring and machining processes that happen long before an engine ever sees final assembly. Every piston ring is individually filed and checked for the correct end gap, bearing clearances are measured and verified, rod and crank tolerances are inspected, and each component is measured multiple times to ensure everything falls within specification.
It’s the sort of work that most people never see, but it’s these small details that separate a reliable performance engine from one that becomes a problem later on.
A massive thank you to Tyler for giving up part of his day off to get the ball rolling on this build and for taking the time to explain the process along the way. His attention to detail and knowledge of the platform is second to none.
Seeing the pistons, rods, ACL bearings and freshly machined block all coming together makes it feel like this WTAC build is finally becoming a reality.
The road to WTAC continues. 🏁💪🔧
