Engine Blueprinting & Final Assembly
Blueprinting is more than assembling parts—it’s the process of measuring, matching, and documenting critical clearances and geometry so your engine runs smoother, lasts longer, and makes consistent power. We verify deck height, piston-to-wall, ring end gaps, bearing oil clearances, quench, and more. After verification, we perform professional short/long-block assembly with proper lubrication, torque sequences, and fastener stretch or angle where required. Deliverables can include a blueprint sheet, bobweight data (if balanced), and recommended break-in procedure.

Having Trouble With Any of These?
If you’re seeing one or more of these symptoms, this service is often the right next step:
- Previous builds that made power but weren’t consistent or reliable.
- Unknown clearances or “mystery” engines with no documentation.
- Serious performance or race use where small details matter.
This Service Is Ideal For
- Track cars and serious street builds where reliability is as important as power.
- Boosted and high-compression combinations that live close to the edge.
- Engine programs where data and repeatability matter (not just one-off builds).
What to Expect From Our Process
- Disassembly or inspection of supplied short/long block or components.
- Measurement of key clearances (bearing, piston-to-wall, ring gap, quench, etc.).
- Verification and correction of geometry issues where possible.
- Careful final cleaning and preparation of all components.
- Professional assembly using documented torque specs and procedures.
- Review of blueprint sheet and recommended break-in procedure.
Common Questions About Engine Blueprinting & Final Assembly
A standard rebuild restores an engine to factory-style specs. Blueprinting goes further by measuring and documenting clearances, volumes, and geometry, often tightening ranges for better performance and consistency.
Not every build needs full blueprinting, but even street engines benefit from knowing that clearances are right where they should be. We can scale the level of documentation to your goals and budget.
In many cases, we’ll need to disassemble and re-measure to properly blueprint. We’ll review what you have and discuss the best path forward.
