LEARN ABOUT OUR LEAD ENGINE BUILDER - MARIO TESTA

We know what it takes to win—because we’ve done it ourselves. Every engine we build is crafted by a seasoned race mechanic with real-world experience.

  • The process begins the moment an engine arrives. Each one is carefully inspected and meticulously cleaned using a vapor hone, ensuring every surface is spotless and ready for precision work.
  • As part of every build, we replace all critical components—including the cylinder, crankshaft, piston, clutch, bearings, gaskets, seals, O-rings, water pump, and spark plug.Where the rules allow, we also upgrade OEM parts with higher-performance alternatives, giving you every legal competitive edge.
  • Not all OEM cylinders are created equal. That’s why every cylinder undergoes a detailed inspection—and if it doesn’t meet our strict standards, it’s replaced. We then precisely match each piston to its cylinder for maximum performance and reliability.
  • Each engine comes with a brand-new carburetor, thoroughly inspected and tuned specifically for your build—ready to race straight out of the box.
  • Key specs like timing, squish, and ring gap are set to our exact preferences
  • And we don’t stop there.Every engine is tested on our in-house dyno, expertly tuned, and put through a rigorous final inspection to ensure it meets our championship-level standards before it ever hits the track.
