Engine Building Service

You will be hard pressed to find a more complete engine building service than R.S. Enthalpy.  I have
built SR's for all applicaitons from drag and road race to daily beater.  Experience, attention to
detail and technical knowledge is what sets me apart from your average engine builder.  

The following is the most common engine build that I perform for my customers.  This setup is best 
suited to use up to 450whp and 25 psi.  It is able to do 500whp reliably on an engine that is 
designed for efficiency but at that point you should consider upgraded sleeves for added cylinder 
wall strength and prevention of crevice errosion.  

I do not perform engine removal or installation.  I only dissasemble and rebuild engines.  If you are
interested in this service you will have to pull your own engine and do your own re-installation. 

R.S. Enthalpy engine building service is $2,000.00

Standard machine work is Included in that fee.  Additional machine work costs are listed in the 
price breakdown.  Minor shop supplies (RTV, copper spray, parts cleaner, etc...) are also included
in the price.   Return shipping is not included.  You will be responsible for all shipping charges.  

NO PARTS ARE INCLUDED IN THIS ESTIMATE!
