The short block assembly is one of the most critical procedures in any engine build. No one understands that better than ERL Performance. The company was founded with machinist and tool & die makers that have manufactured precision gages to jet engine parts, the build process is done right. Our ability to utilize equipment, tooling and knowledge from these areas simply isn’t feasible for standard engine shops.

In an industry (especially the sport compact) where close is good enough, ERL Performance takes a different approach. We believe the best method is a solid foundation. If the block and short block assembly is done right, then bolt on power upgrade can be added in the future. As your desire for performance increases, the money can be spent on the upgrade and not on the short block again.

All of our builds start with one of our superdeck systems installed on your block. This is the same set-up that is running in excess of 40psi boost at the race track. They are all CNC machined and use Darton ductile iron sleeves that are the same material used in 8000 H.P. Nitro engines. See our block sleeving section for full details.

The crank is micropolished using a 15 micron belt, cleaned and checked using mitioyo inspection gages. With all of our blocks being align honed, the bearing bores for the crank are perfectly straight and sized to match the crank journal diameters. The align honing is a step that the majority of industry chooses to skip due to added costs.

All of the bearings are mic’d for thickness and matched to each journal/bore combination to achieve perfect clearance. Each block is fully blueprinted and you will receive a copy of this for your records. All of our blocks are fully assembled in house by AV Engineering after the machining process is completed by ERL.
