CP-Carrillo High-End Steel Alloys for Drag Racing
These alloys are 22% and 44% stronger, respectively, than the traditional Carrilloloy, optimizing rod design and capitalizing on stability, while reducing the weight.
Join PERA for a Piston Alloys and Coatings Webinar
This webinar brings an exciting presentation on the latest and greatest in the alloys used in piston manufacturing and specialized coatings. Scott Sulprizio of United Engine and Machine will be leading the discussion on piston technology.
Understanding Valve Design and Alloys
To the naked eye, a valve is a valve is a valve. Sure, there may be two, three, four or more of them in the cylinder head, but unless you have x-ray eyes, one alloy looks pretty much the same as another. The importance of coatings to today’s valves should not be overlooked, of course.
All About The Alloys – Valve Seat Selection For High Performance Applications
We can’t make any sweeping generalizations about what kind of seats work best in a performance engine application because “performance” covers a lot of territory, everything from hot street engines with stainless steel valves to top fuel drag racing and NASCAR engines with titanium valves. Seat requirements vary depending on the application, what kind of
Valve Alloys-What Makes Them So Special?
Those of us who have been in the valve business all of our career tend to forget that everybody else hasn
Properties of Pistons
Pistons are perhaps one of the more sophisticated chunks of metal in the picture. Here’s what you should know.
Connecting Rod Stress
Connecting rods are subject to constant stress through extreme tensile and compressive loads, each one tied to a different aspect of operation.
Pistal High Compression 100mm Drop-in Piston Kit
Made from forged aluminum, these Pistal pistons are both light and have high resistance.
Manley “Extreme Duty” Inconel Exhaust Valves
Manley’s Extreme Duty valves are manufactured from unique XH-432 XtremeAlloy, which has been the mainstay of drag racing’s top pros for decades.
Carrillo Forged Pistons and Connecting Rods for Ford 7.3L Godzilla
These pistons are forged from 2618T aluminum alloy and machined on dedicated CNC machine cells to tight tolerances. 2618 aluminum has a lower silicon content than other alloys. That makes the pistons stronger and more ductile—perfect for high-load, high-stress applications like superchargers, turbochargers, or nitrous oxide. Other features include:• Rated to handle up to 1,500
Diesel Piston Technology
Diesel and heavy duty go hand-in-hand. There’s no way around it. High compression causes high cylinder temperatures, with peak cylinder pressure often as high as 2,700 psi (or higher). This high pressure and high heat only have one thing in mind, to beat relentlessly on the first thing to get in the way – the pistons.
Solving Engine Bearing Fatigue Failures with Silver Based Materials
One of the most important engine bearing properties is fatigue strength. Fatigue cracks start on the surface and then penetrate into the material. All layers of a multilayer bearing material must have fatigue strength that is greater than the actual load applied to the bearing. Engine bearings must work in a fully hydrodynamic oil film
Jesel Pro Aluminum Series Shaft Rockers
Jesel rockers’ custom blended 7000 Series aluminum alloy allows for the design of an extremely durable and lightweight valvetrain assembly.
CHE Valve Seats
Excellent for extreme temperatures seen in high-horsepower applications, working especially well in nitrous and turbo applications.
Engine Bearings’ Impact on Performance
Nowadays, a bearing (in a performance setting) must be both hard and soft. Retaining geometry is of utmost importance, but it also must be malleable and able to adjust for stress and flexing.
Manley Pro Flo Valves
Manley Pro Flo valve designs are available in the Severe Duty series of stainless steel valves, the “Race Flo” for moderate competition and the economical “Street Flo” models.
Manley Expands “Extreme Duty” Inconel Exhaust Valve Offerings
Manley’s Extreme Duty valves have been a mainstay of drag racing’s top Pros for decades.
Connecting Rod Technology: A Collaboration Between Companies and Customers
Why is technology so interesting? For me, it’s because it always changes. No matter what it is, and no matter how good we make something, we always strive to make it better. There’s also proven technology that comes from testing, but more importantly, real-world use and abuse – an example of which is connecting rods.
