All Nitemare Performance Blueprinted Pontiac Blocks are boiled to thoroughly clean them, then magna-flux tested for cracks, and pressure-checked before any machining is performed, to ensure each and every block is suitable for rebuilding.
We then chase all threads to ensure cleanliness and accurate torque readings, then install our precision dowel pins.
Next, we reinstall the factory main caps and line-hone the main saddles to ensure perfect alignment. (Shown here with bearing shells installed during a build up.)
The deck surfaces are milled relative to the main saddles and to ensure flatness for optimal head gasket sealing.
And the lifter valley is deburred to remove stress risers and prevent casting flash from potentially breaking off and destroying your engine.
