After building thousands of Engine Combinations you learn a thing or two about what to do and not to do. Bottom line, engines don't survive very long with substandard parts and sloppy workmanship.  Engine Factory assembles motors with the top of the line quality standards and parts. A fully dressed motor is what we specialize in, taking out the guesswork for you.  Our engines are built to give you miles of cruising fun on pump gas.  Not a temperamental or twitchy motor that only makes power at high RPMs. We get excited about the engines we build here and hope you share the same feeling after buying one of our engines. So please look through our website and give us a call on any of our Ford Engines. Reliability you can count on and the performance when you need it most!

 

 

BEFORE YOU CONSIDER PURCHASING AN ENGINE ANYWHERE CONSIDER THE FACTS !!! ENGINE FACTORY HAS BEEN BUILDING MUSCLE CAR TURN KEY ENGINES FOR 35 YEARS. WE ARE THE WORLDS LEADER.

THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION YOU MUST ASK BEFORE YOU PURCHASE AN ENGINE IS, HAS THE ENGINE BEEN LIVE RUN, HOT TESTED, AND DOCUMENTED. THIS IS THE ONLY WAY THAT YOU WILL KNOW IF YOU ARE RECEIVING A PERFECT ENGINE. WE NOT ONLY HOT TEST EVERY TURN KEY ENGINE, BUT WE DO IT WITH THE VIDEO CAMERA RUNNING, WE DO A PERSONAL VIDEO SUPPORTING ALL DOCUMENTATION. THIS VIDEO IS SUPPLIED TO YOU FOR YOUR PERSONAL RECORDS.

THE FOLLOWING IS A LIST OF ITEMS THAT WE TEST FOR DURING THE LIVE RUNNING OF YOUR ENGINE, REMEMBER YOUR ENGINE WILL BE INSTALLED ON OUR TEST STAND AND SET UP TO RUN JUST LIKE IT WOULD BE IN YOUR CAR. THIS MEANS A RADIATOR, FAN, EXHAUST SYSTEM, ETC. ARE ALL HOOKED UP, THE ENGINE IS THEN STARTED AND RUN FOR 45 MINUTES, EVERYTHING IS ADJUSTED, CLOSELY MONITORED, AND VIDEO TAPED, WE CHECK THE FOLLOWING.
 
# 1 OIL LEAKS CHECKED

FRONT HARMONIC BALANCER AREA TIMING COVER GASKET
OIL PAN AND DRAIN PLUG REAR MAIN SEAL
REAR CAM PLUG OIL FILTER HOUSING
ALL EXTERNAL OIL PLUGS INTAKE MANIFOLD END SEALS
HEAD GASKETS VALVE COVERS DISTRIBUTOR HOUSING AND GASKET
 

 

# 2 COOLANT LEAKS CHECKED

ALL FREEZE PLUGS AND BLOCK DRAIN PLUGS WATER PUMP AND GASKETS
HEAD GASKETS INTAKE MANIFOLD AND GASKETS
THERMOSTAT HOUSING AND GASKET ALL HOSE CONNECTIONS


# 3 FUEL LEAKS CHECKED

FUEL PUMP AND LINES , CARBURETOR
ALL FUEL LINES FITTINGS, AND CLAMPS
FUEL FILTER

# 4 VACUUM LEAKS
INTAKE GASKETS ALL MANIFOLD PIPE PLUGS
DISTRIBUTOR VACUUM ADVANCE INTERNAL ENGINE VACUUM LEAKS
POSITIVE CRANKCASE VENTILATION SYSTEM


# 5 THROTTLE RESPONSE

500 RPM TO 1500 RPM
1500 RPM TO 3500 RPM
3500 RPM TO 5500 RPM
TEST FOR ANY THROTTLE HESITATION
 


# 6 IDLE QUALITY AND CARBURETOR ADJUSTMENTS

ADJUST IDLE MIXTURE SCREWS ADJUST FAST IDLE MECHANISM AND SPEED
CHOKE OPERATION ADJUST IDLE SPEED
 


# 7 OIL PRESSURE COLD AND HOT

TEST OIL PRESSURE DEAD COLD, USUALLY AROUND 75 PSI AT 2000 RPM
TEST PRESSURE AT 100 DEGREES
TEST PRESSURE AT 190 DEGREES
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN COLD AND HOT - HOT OIL IS USUALLY AROUND
20 PSI LOWER, THIS IS PERFECTLY NORMAL.

# 8 COOLANT TEMPERATURE TESTS

CHECK TO BE SURE ALL AIR POCKETS ARE REMOVED FROM BLOCK
CHECK WATER PUMP FOR PROPER CIRCULATION
TEST FOR ANY EXTERNAL LEAKS
CHECK TEMPERATURE AT ALL 4 CORNERS OF ENGINE
TEST FOR PROPER BLOCK AND HEAD COOLING

# 9 VIBRATIONS

EACH CYLINDER IS BALANCE TESTED
FLYWHEEL IS CHECKED FOR PROPER APPLICATION AND BALANCE
HARMONIC BALANCER CHECKED FOR PROPER APPLICATION
CHECK FOR SMOOTHNESS THROUGHOUT RPM RANGE

# 10 DISTRIBUTOR TIMING

ADJUST INITIAL TIMING THIS IS DONE WITH VACUUM ADVANCE OFF
CHECK AND ADJUST CENTRIFUGAL ADVANCE WEIGHTS
CHECK AND ADJUST VACUUM ADVANCE
CHECK FOR PROPER ADVANCE AT 3000 RPM, USUALLY 35 DEGREES WITH VACUUM ADVANCE DISCONNECTED

# 11 STARTER AND FLYWHEEL
CHECK FOR PROPER STARTER MOUNTING BOLTS
CHECK FOR PROPER ENGAGEMENT OF STARTER INTO FLYWHEEL
CHECK STARTER DRAW ON HOT ENGINE
CHECK FOR TRANSMISSION ALIGNMENT DOWEL PINS
CHECK FOR PROPER CRANK PILOT SIZE, OR INSTALL PILOT BUSHING

# 12 EXHAUST PORT TEMPERATURES

THIS IS IMPORTANT, PORT TEMPS SHOULD BE SIMILAR.  A COOL PORT COULD MEAN A TIGHT VALVE, CROSSED WIRE, VACUUM LEAK, WEAK VALVE SPRING, ETC.
CENTER EXHAUST PORTS USUALLY BURN HOTTER, THIS IS NORMAL

# 13 GENERAL NOISE LEVEL

WE CHECK FOR NOISY VALVE ADJUSTMENTS OR MISALIGNMENT.
ENGINE FACTORY SPENDS A LOT OF EXTRA TIME HERE ADJUSTING AND ALIGNING THE VALVE TRAIN TO WORK IN PROPER HARMONY, WHICH RESULTS IN YEARS OF DRIVING PLEASURE, AND MORE POWER.

# 14 OPTIONAL ITEMS WHEN PURCHASED

ALTERNATOR OUTPUT, SYSTEM SHOULD CHARGE AT 14.2 VOLTS
POWER STEERING PUMP, WE TEST FOR PROPER PRESSURE AND LEAKS
WE CHECK FOR AIR CONDITIONING COMPRESSOR PULLEY AND CLUTCH ALIGNMENT
SERPENTINE BELT AND V BELTS ARE CHECKED FOR PROPER TENSION AND ALIGNMENT

# 15 OVERALL APPEARANCE

EVERYTHING IS CHECKED FROM THE OIL PAN TO THE AIR CLEANER
PAINT, PACKAGING, PROPER WARNING LABELS ETC.

BY NOW YOU MUST BE SAYING WOW THAT’S A LOT OF THINGS TO CHECK, YES IT IS, IN TOTAL IT TAKES US ABOUT 5 HOURS TO HOOK UP, TEST, ADJUST, AND VIDEO TAPE EACH TURN KEY ENGINE. BUT WE DO IT BECAUSE WE KNOW IT IS THE ONLY WAY TO SEND AN ENGINE TO OUR CUSTOMER SO THAT THEY WILL HAVE TOTAL CONFIDENCE ON THAT PRODUCT BEFORE INSTALLATION.

DO IT ONCE AND DO IT RIGHT !!!!

REMEMBER IF IT HASN’T BEEN LIVE RUN AND HOT TESTED YOUR TAKING A CHANCE !!!! THINK ABOUT IT, IT’S YOUR MONEY!!!
