Product images are for description purposes only. Actual product may vary.
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 bore clearances for the CP pistons in the FA20 kit?
For the CP pistons in the FA20 kit, a typical bore clearance of 0.0015" to 0.0020" is recommended. However, this can vary based on the specific application and operating conditions, so always consult with your engine builder for precise specifications.
What is the torque specification for the ARP2000 bolts on the Spool conrods?
The ARP2000 bolts included with the Spool conrods should be torqued to approximately 55 ft-lb when using ARP Ultra-Torque lubricant. Always verify with ARP's latest instructions for the most accurate specifications.
Can I use the Spool conrods and CP pistons for high boost applications?
Yes, the Spool conrods and CP pistons are designed for high-performance applications, including high boost setups. However, reliability will depend on proper machining, clearances, tuning, and fuel quality. Ensure that your engine is built to handle the increased stresses associated with higher boost levels.
Do the CP pistons require any specific ring gap settings?
Yes, the ring gaps for the CP pistons should be set according to the intended use of the engine. A common starting point for a performance application is 0.004" to 0.005" per inch of bore diameter. Adjustments may be necessary based on boost levels and RPM, so consult with your engine builder for optimal settings.
What machining processes are necessary for the Spool FA20 conrods?
The Spool FA20 conrods may require big-end or small-end honing to ensure proper fitment with the crankshaft and pistons, as factory tolerances can vary. Always check clearances and perform any necessary machining to achieve optimal performance and reliability.
