We highly recommend using a stretch gauge when installing rod bolts and other fasteners where it is possible to measure the length of the bolt after tightening. It is the most accurate way to determine the correct pre-load in
the rod bolt. Measure the fastener prior to starting, and monitor overall length during installation. When the bolt has stretched the specified amount, the correct preload, or torque, has been applied. We recommend you
maintain a chart of all rod bolts, and copy down the length of the fastener prior to and after installation. If there is a permanent increase of .001" in length or more, or if there is deformation, the bolt should be
replaced immediately. Don’t chance it!

Long time racer Dino Campolito always felt that there should be a more precise way to file fit your piston rings. He used the same method everyone else does; file a little and check the fit, file a little and check, etc.
Finally, in frustration he set about to invent a better system. The "Ringmaster" Ring Filing Jig allows you to remove an exact amount of material from the end of a piston ring. Once the zinc-plated steel jig is
clamped in a vise or secured to a table, the desired shim(s) (.002"-.050") are secured in place under the ring stop. Then insert and secure the ring against the stop, move the stop plate out of the way and file ring
until flush with ring jig. Kit includes jig, file and shims.

This great little tool actually slides down into the lifter bore and rides on top of the camshaft in order to measure lobe lift and base circle runout. It comes complete with two followers, one for flat tappet or hydraulic
cams and one for rollers. The tool has both GM (.842" dia.) & Ford (.875" dia.) diameters. The best design feature of this tool is the built in O-ring on each end that holds the tool securely in the lifter bore.
Just slide in any standard dial indicator (not included), and you're ready to go.

Check the condition of your engine with Powerhouse's high performance 0-300psi Compression Tester. This unit features a 16 inch heavy-duty long reach flex hose, side release valve (for multiple readings), 14mm, 14mm long and
18mm spark plug adapters. The large 2 1/2" gauge is graduated in both pounds and kilograms.

Here's a universal tool that handles piston rings of all sizes, from lawn mowers to 5.00" bore mountain motors. Rings can be removed or installed on the piston without fear of breakage from the unnatural twisting that
occurs when using just your hands. Powerhouse's Piston Ring Expander Pliers are even heat treated for long life and durability.

Powerhouse's Piston Ring Squaring Tools will add efficiency to any engine build-up. These hard anodized, aluminum tools push the ring a full .600" down the cylinder bore for accurate end gap measurement. The open design
lets you reach through the tool and pull up on the ring for added accuracy. Several sizes and ranges are available, and all work on blocks with head studs installed.

This is no namby-pamby little tool. Powerhouse designed their Pro Piston Knocker for serious real world duty. The Pro Piston Knocker is constructed of a non-marring composite material and measures a full 13" in length
with 2"and 2 1/2" diameter ends. The 2 pound overall weight is achieved through the use of a chamber loaded with steel shot, which provides a dead blow effect; heavy striking force without rebound. We’re sure you’ll
find more uses for this handy driver than just knocking pistons into their holes.

Cleaning your block has just become easier than ever. This six-piece professional engine builder’s brush kit will have your engine ready to build in no time. The kit includes an extra large bore brush, a heavy duty oil galley
brush, cam and lifter bore brushes with long handles, a bolt hole brush, and a nylon surface brush. Also included is 1 quart of specially designed, concentrated cleaner for removal of tough grime, grease, and oil. The cleaner
will not harm bearings or leave residue.

Ever wonder why rod bolt manufacturers supply stretch factors as well as torque settings? Well, it's because stretch is the most accurate way to measure fastener pre-load. Powerhouse's blue anodized aluminum Rod Bolt Stretch
Gauge is designed to actually hold itself onto the rod bolt while it's being tightened. The included .001" mini dial indicator has been modified with a super high tension spring for superior holding power and precision.
It also features an adjustable anvil to accommodate rod bolts up to 2.750" in length.

The absolute best and easiest way to install pistons into the cylinder bore is with one of Powerhouse's Tapered Ring Compressors. These tools gently squeeze the rings and funnel the piston into the bore without ring damage or
breakage. Available in all popular sizes, these extra tall aluminum ring compressors are hard anodized for long life. Designed to work on blocks with studs, they also feature a handy finger registration groove.
