Milodon's main caps were used on all five main caps positions, in addition to their high quality, bullet-proof main caps, their main studs were used also to hold everything together. We do this treatment to all 440 block cores for strength and durability. Note the orange colored oil-shedding paint on the block interior. We do that to all our engines.

The crankshaft is a 1018 steel 440 crankshaft. Turned 0.010" under on the rods and mains, it was detailed and balanced to within 1/2 a gram for our application.

Oliver Parabolic forged I-beam connecting rods were used in the build of our engine. These are some of the finest, strongest connecting rods available for precision built racing and street engines.

Total Seal AP-steel gapless top rings followed by napier faced 2nd rings all backed up by their low tension oil controls. Total Seal rings are used in all engine builds because of there very high quality and consistent high level sealing ability.

Fully coated Ross pistons and cylinder heads help us to control the heat propagading through the parts to help make max power and add longevity to the powerplant. We use these types of coatings in all our engine builds. They are the most advanced coatings available, and contain real gold!
