This class will teach theory and function of race oriented engines and focus on engines with carburetors and distributors. All principles will apply to any engine. Upon completion of the class, students will have the basic understanding of the proper method to assemble and tune an engine. This will be a “hands on” class. Students will understand what blueprinting is and why it's so important. Each student will have the opportunity to time a motor on my test stand before firing it up, adjust valves, and degree a camshaft.

Basic introduction to engine building, explanation of all parts and special tools needed to build an engine. Students will understand the importance of blue printing.

Explanation in detail of all parts of an engine, their functions, proper conditions, and different types for specific applications.

Instruction will include the different types of cams and the proper matching of camshafts to engines for each application. Each student will leave the class having degreed a camshaft and have confidence that they can do it on their own.

Instruction will include an explanation of the different types of rocker arms, rocker arm geometry, how to measure pushrod length. Each student will learn and be confident in adjusting valves.

Instruction will include an explanation of different types of carburetors and intakes and the matching of size to engine for proper operation. Students will learn about air/fuel ratio meters and how to use them to maximize their combinations. We will use an LM-1 meter on an engine that‘s running on my test stand.

Instruction will be given on the proper way to fire an engine for the first time. Students will also learn how to time a motor for the first time and how to curve a distributor. Students will also learn how to recognize how much timing a motor wants at idle and wide open throttle..

There will be at least one class per month. To reserve a spot, call Wayne @ 918-274-HEMI or email afxplymouth@sbcglobal.net

Because you will walk away having learned things that you will use forever.....and you'll be way ahead of your buddies hanging out at the track..............

What credibility do I have??? I have 11 years of Top Fuel racing experience, 20 years of transmission rebuilding experience, and 17 years of engine building experience. I've won numerous bracket races and Smothers Supercars has built some of the nicest and fastest muscle cars in the World..........and, I'm extremely passionate and dedicated to helping you get the most out of your combo....... There's no doubt in my mind that 99% of the people reading this will learn something........

The Transmission classes will be make and model specific......During the class we'll tear one down, I'll go over all of the idiosyncrasies with that particular unit, show you what tools you'll need, how to rebuild it, what to look for, explain what's needed to be done for different types of race scenarios, and then we'll reassemble it.......We'll also discuss what stall speed and flash are and how they're relevant to you.........Each Transmission Class will cost $100/student......

This class will be taught by Monte Smith who is the Motorsports Technical Representative for Nitrous Oxide Systems..... Monte has tuned everything from 75HP shot plate systems to 3 stage Foggers and knows how to do it correctly without hurting parts.......Right now, he's tuned the fastest drag radial nitrous car to 7.90's in the 1'4!!! He will cover all the basics, blow all of the wive's tales out of the water, and help you get the most out of your nitrous system........ How many times have you, or have you seen someone "step up" their system and the car run the same or even slow down??? There's a reason for that.........How much have you spent blowing up and repairing your motor??? Monte can save you money, answer any all of your questions, and help you get the most out of your combo.......YOU WILL LEARN A LOT IN THIS CLASS..........Each Nitrous Class will cost $500/student.........
