Please Note:
*STD bore size pistons are not recommended in a used bore for any performance engine unless the bores have done minimal work with minimal wear and the correct piston to bore clearance can be adhered to.
All piston manufacturers have a specific piston to bore clearance that they recommend. If STD bore pistons are requested and there is a piston to bore clearance issue we will not exchange or refund, due to the reasons given above.

What is included in a typical Spool engine kit?
Kits usually include pistons, rings, rods, bearings and related hardware depending on the engine family. Check the listing for exact inclusions.
Do I still need machining with a full engine kit?
Yes. The block must be honed and all clearances checked and set by your builder. Assembly should only occur after full measurement and verification.
What are the recommended piston to bore clearances for the CP Bullet pistons?
The CP Bullet pistons require specific piston to bore clearances as recommended by the manufacturer. It's crucial to consult the manufacturer's guidelines to ensure proper fitment and performance. If using STD bore size pistons, ensure the bore has minimal wear and can adhere to the correct clearances.
What is the maximum power rating for the Spool Drag Pro I Beam conrods?
The Spool Drag Pro I Beam conrods are designed for high-strength applications and can handle significant power levels, typically up to 1000hp. However, actual reliability will depend on proper machining, clearances, tuning, fuel quality, and boost levels.
What are the torque specifications for the ARP2000 bolts in the conrods?
For the ARP2000 7/16 bolts included with the Spool Drag Pro I Beam conrods, the recommended torque value is around 75 ft-lb when using ARP Ultra-Torque lubricant. Always refer to ARP's latest instructions for the most accurate guidance.
Can I use L19 fasteners with these conrods?
Yes, L19 fasteners are available as an upgrade for the Spool Drag Pro I Beam conrods. If you choose to upgrade, ensure you follow the proper stretch specifications for L19 bolts, which are 0.0070"–0.0074" for 7/16" bolts.
What machining is required for the conrods and pistons in this kit?
The conrods may require big-end or small-end honing to achieve the correct fit due to factory variations. The pistons will also need to be fitted with the correct bore clearance and ring gaps set by the engine builder to ensure optimal performance.
