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 bore sizes and compression ratios can I choose for the CP pistons?
The CP pistons for the Holden Ecotech V6 are custom made to order, allowing you to select any bore size and compression ratio that suits your build. This flexibility is ideal for turbocharged, supercharged, or naturally aspirated applications.
What are the recommended torque values for the ARP2000 bolts on the conrods?
For the Spool Holden Ecotech V6 conrods equipped with ARP2000 bolts, the recommended torque value is approximately 55 ft-lb when using ARP Ultra-Torque lubricant. Always refer to ARP’s latest instructions for the most accurate specifications.
Do the conrods require any specific machining before installation?
Yes, the conrods may require big-end or small-end honing to ensure proper fitment due to factory journal and pin size variations. It's crucial to check clearances and perform any necessary machining for optimal performance.
What is the significance of the custom skirt cam and barrel design on the CP pistons?
The custom skirt cam and barrel design on the CP pistons enhances engine efficiency and reduces friction, which is particularly beneficial in high-performance applications. This design helps maintain stability and performance under varying loads and RPMs.
What type of oil should I use for break-in after installing this engine kit?
We recommend using Joe Gibbs Break in Oil for all new engines, including those built with the Spool Holden Ecotech V6 conrods and CP pistons. This oil is formulated to provide optimal protection during the critical break-in period.
