THEY FEATURE A DART LSNEXT SHP CAST IRON BLOCK. EVERY BLOCK GOES THROUGH A DEBURRING PROCESS THAT CHAMFERS CRITICAL EDGES AND HOLES TO PREP FOR MACHINING. THEY ARE THEN ALIGN HONED TO ENSURE THE MAIN HOUSING BORES ARE THE SAME SIZE IN SPEC AND IN LINE. AFTER LINE HONING THE BLOCK IS MACHINED TO ENSURE THE DECK SURFACES ARE PARALLEL TO THE MAINS TO A NOMINAL DECK HEIGHT. NEXT THE BLOCK IS BORED (WHEN REQUIRED) AND THEN FINISH HONED TO 4.125". THE LIFTER BORES ARE CHECKED AND HONED TO SIZE AS NEEDED. AFTER FINISH MACHINING THE BLOCK THEN GOES THROUGH A FINAL PREP PROCESS THAT INCLUDES ANY EXTRA CHAMFERING OR DEBURRING THAT MAY BE REQUIRED BEFORE FINAL CLEANING.

EACH CONNECTING ROD IS CHECKED FOR HOUSING BORE ROUNDNESS, TAPER AND SIZE. ANY ROD THAT DOES NOT MEET THE HOUSING BORE SPEC IS MACHINED TO SIZE AND ROUNDNESS. PIN BORES IN THE RODS AND PISTONS ARE HONED TO SIZE FOR PROPER OIL CLEARANCE FOR THE APPLICATION.
ALL COMPONENTS GO THROUGH HAND FINISHING AND A MULTI-STEP CLEANING PROCESS TO ENSURE THE BLOCK AND ROTATING ASSEMBLY ARE FREE OF CONTAMINANTS BEFORE ASSEMBLY.
