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 benefits of using the Spool 90mm Stroker Kit for the Barra XR6?
The Spool 90mm Stroker Kit reduces the engine's cubic capacity to 3.7 litres, allowing for a higher rev range and improved throttle response. This can be beneficial for applications where weight and balance are critical, such as in motorsport or performance builds.
What machining is required when installing the Spool Barra 90mm Stroker Kit?
Clearancing of the cylinder block is sometimes required to accommodate the new crankshaft stroke. Additionally, ensure that the big-end and small-end of the conrods are honed to the correct sizes for a proper fit. Always check for adequate clearance with the pistons as well.
What is the recommended compression ratio for the Spool CP pistons in this kit?
The kit includes CP Extreme Boost Forging 2618 forged pistons with a standard compression ratio of 10:1. However, custom pistons can be arranged for different bore sizes and compression ratios, subject to a surcharge.
Can I upgrade the ARP bolts in the connecting rods of this kit?
Yes, the Spool H Beam forged connecting rods come standard with ARP-2000 bolts, but you have the option to upgrade to ARP L19 bolts for enhanced strength and reliability, particularly in high-power applications.
What is the lead time for custom CP pistons if my specifications are not in stock?
If the specific pistons you require are not in stock, it typically takes 14-20 weeks for custom CP pistons to be manufactured to your specifications.
