[Shotimes] New engine for 92 MTX SHO

[ianf@eden.rutgers.edu]

yeah and all that's a waste of money. If you want to spend 5x the cost 
of your car on the motor alone (which is already going to outlast the 
car itself anyway), go ahead. I don't think Jasper is the "only" good 
choice out there; I think its one of the most expensive.

> THOROUGH CLEANING
> Every engine is completely disassembled. Blocks, heads, connecting 
rods, 
> crankshafts and camshafts for domestic engines are thoroughly cleaned 
in the <A HREF="http://www.kolene.com/">
> Kolene</A> Salt Bath. Molten industrial salt efficiently and 
thoroughly removes 
> all contaminants that can result in premature wear to internal engine 
> components and early engine failure. Import engines are completely 
cleaned 
> through other, equally, quality oriented processes to remove 
contaminants.
> 
> CRANKSHAFTS are precision machined to exact tolerances with no odd 
size 
> bearings or journals. Thrust surfaces (domestic engines) are machined 
in a 
> two step process to provide precise surface finishes for smooth 
engine 
> operation and reduced thrust bearing wear. Every journal is inspected 
and 
> measured with critical accuracy. After machining, oil holes are 
chamfered to 
> improve lubrication and every journal polished to a smooth finish for 
long 
> bearing life. Crankshafts are thoroughly cleaned with special 
emphasis to 
> flushing and brushing out oil passages to remove any contaminants. 
> 
> CAMSHAFTS are inspected for wear, dimensional accuracy and gauged for 
> straightness. Camshaft lobes are carefully machined to correct 
> specifications. Each shaft is Parco-Lubricated to improve lubricant 
adhesion, 
> especially during break-in. Any camshaft not meeting JASPER's exact 
> specifications is replaced. 
> 
> CYLINDERS
> Cylinders are bored and honed to exact specifications. Cylinder 
finish and 
> size are closely monitored to industry surface finish standards as 
well as 
> for accuracy and consistancy through Statistical Process Control. 
This

guarantees no odd

and 
> resurfaced as required to provide the correct surface finish for 
today's 
> gasket materials. 
> 
> CONNECTING RODS
> Connecting rods are machined and gauged to within a half a thousandth 
for 
> improved operation, especially in today's engines. Rods are carefully 
> machined to avoid taper and to the standard diameter of original 
equipment. 
> All rods are checked for bend and twist to assure smooth operation. 
> 
> HEADS
> Heads are carefully inspected for cracks and flaws through procedures 
such as 
> magnetic particle inspection and pressure testing. Every head is 
resurfaced 
> to exact dimensional tolerances and the surface finish is carefully 
monitored 
> for proper sealing with the block. Valve seats and guides are 
machined to 
> exact specifications or replaced to assure correct valve alignment 
and 
> seating and optimum engine performance. 
> 
> ASSEMBLY
> Every engine is precisely assembled by trained JASPER builders.

> TESTING
> JASPER live tests every popular Complete domestic engine with 
recorded
