Engine Internals FAQ? - Focaljet

**CWCZX3** · 02-13-2005, 04:37 PM

How about we start a forced induction guide for internals, like who makes what.

Rods: Crower 300hp+, Eagle up to 300hp, ?

Pistons: J&E, Diamonds, Weisco, Focus-Central, Probe, Ross, ?

Main Caps: Focus-Power(hardened steel), Pro-gram(mild steel), ?

Crank: Stock Cryo(Focus-Power), Crower Billet, ?

Block: WRC/CGI (Focus-Power or Mcnews), ?

Head Gaskets: Cometic, ?

Rod/Main bearings: Clevite, Federal-Mogul, ?

Misc. Hardware: ARP Bolts, ?

Feel free to chime in and I will update my first post and maybe we can make this a sticky? Just trying to get an idea of who all makes what for when I'm ready to build my bottom end now that I'm boosted. Thanks

quite honestly has anyone ever *needed* the cgi block? No one has even come close to losing a stock block.

**Ray** · 02-13-2005, 05:59 PM

**orangeZXT** · 02-13-2005, 06:03 PM

**Bark** · 02-13-2005, 06:06 PM

I am not sure.... for some reason I am thinking that Tom does actually run OEM. Maybe not though... but off of the top of my head, I cannot think of anyone who makes an aftermarket gasket.

**OrangeSVT03** · 02-13-2005, 08:11 PM

Dont forget cams, I know Gude makes FI cams for the SVT.

**1fastfocus** · 02-13-2005, 09:17 PM

Commetics makes aftermarket headgaskets.

**CWCZX3** · 02-13-2005, 09:48 PM

I'm going to leave cams and headwork out of this for now as there are some many options to choose with cams and head packages. What about the oil squirters, I know the svt has them but i don't think the blocks are inter-changeable are they? Does the CGI block have them?

**orangeZXT** · 02-13-2005, 09:57 PM

no it doesnt but tom will put them in for like 80 bucks

**CWCZX3** · 02-13-2005, 09:57 PM

Just informed that the CGI block does have the oil squirters to aid in cooling the pistons.

**once again** · 02-14-2005, 02:00 AM

Rod/main bearings? Clevite, Federal-Mogul

**CWCZX3** · 02-14-2005, 07:52 PM

I know there's more out there than this but can't think of any. I thought it was Tekin that posted something about a company that made main caps? Maybe he'll chime in with some info.

**orangeZXT** · 02-14-2005, 09:50 PM

the cgi block does not have them if u look on toms site he will ADD them for 80bucks i think they arent with the block

**CWCZX3** · 02-14-2005, 10:14 PM

That wasn't what he told me yesterday.

Yes the CGI block has squirters this is another part of why the CGI block is a nice piece

Tom

**orangeZXT** · 02-14-2005, 10:19 PM

im talkn to him right now and he said they dont come with them they are a 80 $ add on

**Halo** · 02-14-2005, 10:53 PM

add on? more like add off isnt it just holes in the bottom of the block?

**focuz04** · 02-14-2005, 11:02 PM
