Racing Engine Program This version of our Racing Engine Program
includes Ford racing engines among others. This class is approved for some
union members. We bring the training to you for maximum convenience, and conduct
the training at your plant location.
Learn to build more horsepower,
save $$$, and find a good machine shop to prepare your components. Find
out what goes into high horsepower racing engines.
This unique one-weekend
hands-on class gives you the chance to learn from professional racing
engine builders. Whether you're building engines for drag racing, street
rods, muscle car restoration, tractor pulls, marine applications or your
daily driver, this class shows you how to choose the right components and
get them machined properly to produce reliable horsepower.
This class was
developed and is
presented by ETC, Inc.
Here's what one student at a Kansas
City Assembly Plant had to say about the class:
|
|
"It was
a real pleasure to have attended such a fine class, with three of the best
teachers I have ever had. You allowed the students to go to
different levels and different interests, which really separated this from
merely a good course to a great one. Keep up the good work.
Also, that Engine Calculator software is the best aid an engine builder
has got in the tool box - really smart!!! If you write any more
engine calculating software, let me know. I love this one!"
- Steve Johnson |
Here's what's included in this great class:
 | Engine Disassembly - How to properly disassemble your racing engine
without causing damage to components. |
| Racing Engine Maintenance Tips - Learn what to monitor and how to
check things to save your engine from costly damage. |
| Component Selection - How to choose rods, cranks, blocks and heads.
There are many choices you have to make before you begin your high
performance engine. Learn the pros and cons of each choice before making a
big mistake. |
| Block Preparation - Learn the secrets behind all of the machining processes used to prepare
a race block for assembly. There's a right way and a wrong way to do it.
Make sure you are getting what you are paying for! |
| Precision Measurement - What to measure, how to measure it, and
what the results mean in the engine building process. Includes the use
of micrometers, calipers, bore gages, and dial indicators. You'll also
"cc" cylinder heads, determine the dome volumes on pistons, and
use the optional Engine Calculator software to calculate static compression ratio. |
| Engine Assembly - Hands-on assembly of racing engines. Learn to
properly torque fasteners, measure rod stretch, set valve lash and more. |
| Cylinder Head Flow Testing - We'll bring a flow bench and show you
how cylinder heads are flow tested and what the results mean to you. |
| Cylinder Head Setup - Learn how to measure valve spring pressure,
check coil bind, make sure you have the valve train geometry set up
correctly for your application. |
| Degree a Cam - We show you how professional racing engine builders
degree camshafts with a unique step-by-step approach. There is a lot of bad
information out there in magazines and videos. Learn how to do it like the
pros. |
| Computer Software - Use our Engine Calculator software to determine displacement, static compression
ratio, assembly height, piston compression height, and more. |
| Tuition - The tuition for this 18-hour two-day weekend program is
$1425. |
