Thorough cleaning of the base components is essential to a quality rebuild. CrossTown uses an environmentally friendly in a shot blast cabinet, producing an O.E. level of cleanliness. CrossTown’s Lou Mangov points to a critical area: the block deck.
The critical deck area is machined on automatic equipment, with the block indexed from the oil pan rails for consistency. CrossTown prefers to machine very close to perfect flatness to prevent close-to-limit tolerances from multiplying at assembly.
