Mr. Ralph Napoleon just got done with your Nissan RB26DETT balance job Crankshaft was OK but when adding your Balancer & Flywheel it started to get ugly so got them under 1-gram then added the clutch hat and that was way off but again the job came out great rods & pistons are also good to go no work needed. will start to check oil clearance on the rods & Mains tomorrow will try and have you out of her before I head out to Rockingham Nationals

Mr. Albert Meckes I tried to install your new cut crankshaft, in your Ford 428 stroker and something did not feel right the housing bore is dead nuts, on. so, I started to check the crank and look what I found all the main journals have a .0016 taper on them and that's from the crank grinder in New Jersey and that's from not keeping the grinding stone true now will send it back out and get it done right by Fritz Crank Grinding in Luzerne, PA. That's why you check every part before you install it in your engine. & that's why you are paying me the $$BIG BUCKS $$ to make sure it's done right. To all have a great Sunday. See less

Mr. Ralph Napoleon your Nissan RB26DETT block came out great it took .005 to clean up the block surface you had some water rot around cylinders # 1 & # 6 after that it went into the Honing machine so with the rough diamonds I took the bore down to about .0025 from .007 will finish it up with the fin diamond right at zero for a .0019 PTW clearance. after tomorrow the block is all done. will get back on your job when your crank gets back to me.

Mr. Ralph Napoleon I started on your Nissan RB26DETT block. I just taped the front main oil hole going to install the 1-solid plug back in the back of the block that is a tapper plug I know it will not leak. Next, I align honed the mains with your ARP stud kit like always it came out great next the block is in the boring machine and took a test pass on 1-of the bad cylinders and clean up great left about .007 to hone with your torque plate. Will have the block on the milling machine tomorrow and by late tomorrow will get it in the honing machine. See less

Mr. Al Meckes. I started on your Ford 408 stroker block I installed the 3-cylinder sleeves to get rid of the rot next up Will align hone the mains with ARP-Bolt kit to take any twist out when I press the new sleeves in then will square up the deck surface with the BHJ-Fixture to the centerline of the crank then call Ed at Ross racing pistons and order the new .040 over pistons and tell him the rod, stroke, & Compression you are using in this combo.

Mr. Ed Shanley, your Ford 427-Heads are all done heads were warped from the intake to the exhaust side of the heads most likely the shop that did it before the cutting head on their machine had a bit too much tilt and it will cause that f**k up dish pattern. you can see it when I took a .001 cut, they both were warp about .0025 but all came out great total off both heads .005 will call you tomorrow with your total and you can bring the short block down on Saturday if that works for you.
