Just wanted to say thanks to my boys Ben and Robert at Blueprint Racing for the new block! Car is gonna love it! :up: Just wanted to share some pics! Thanks guys!

 

Are those holes in the piston tops gas ports of some kind?

 

nice....where is the rest?

 

Yeah vertical gasports!

rest of what? My build?

 

Nice short block.

 

Yes a K24 block race only going in a procar get some shake down runs and seat time. Then bump up to a stroker from Blueprint!

Thanks

 

Looks good Chris. Congrats.

 

Thanks hope my next package is from YOU!

 

I've never seen this before. What are the advantages? Are the vertical ports for race use only¿

 

Yeah for dragracing. Here is wisecos explanation: Vertical gas ports are primarily used in drag race applications. Lateral gas ports are more often used in circle-track and road-race applications where carbon build up can occur. When gas ports are used, pressure is directed to build up behind the compression ring and seal it against the cylinder wall. This helps prevent ring flutter and extends the power curve upward in the RPM range. Vertical gas ports have the holes drilled from the deck of the piston into the top ring groove and behind the ring. Lateral gas ports are drilled through the bottom side of the top land and extend to the back wall of the ring groove.

 

Very nice bottom end. whos doin the head work?
