BluePrint Engines Factory Full Tour & Behind The Scenes: How Does a Crate Engine Get Made?

What happens here

After full assembly, each engine undergoes a rigorous dynamometer (dyno) test in a dedicated sound-proof booth. The dyno operator performs initial 'small pulls' to ensure all systems are functioning correctly, gradually bringing the engine up to speed. The engine is then subjected to a 'big pull', running up to 6000 RPM, to measure its actual horsepower and torque output. This data is compared against advertised minimum specifications, ensuring each engine meets performance standards. In addition to performance checks, the dyno test includes inspections for leaks and blow-by. Every engine is dyno-tested and provided with a detailed dyno sheet, offering the customer peace of mind and verified performance figures. Fuel tanks and pumps are integrated to supply the dyno cells with gasoline.

Goal: Verify engine performance and quality through dynamometer testing.

Tools and materials

  • Computer Monitors — Displaying engine performance data and graphs
  • Dynamometer — Testing engine horsepower, torque, and overall performance
  • Ear Protection — Protecting against loud engine noise in the dyno cell
  • Fuel Tanks and Pumps — Supplying fuel to engines during dyno testing
  • Safety Glasses — Protecting eyes during engine testing
  • Gasoline — Fueling engines for testing

What they say

Hide

in addition to the ones you saw back in r d so there's a lot of money invested as a company and being able to run these engines and put them through a test that will help make sure when they get to the customer's vehicle we've reduced as much risk as we can we inspect for leaks we cut every oil filter a hundred percent and check it to make sure that after it's been through that initial pull there aren't any issues um we check for blow by there's a lot of intricate details that we look at on every engine that we dyno and for us dynoing every single engine there's the cool factor about getting your dyno sheet and seeing what your horsepower and torque is there's also that peace of mind knowing that that engine has been run we use the same type of gas that a customer can use out in the street we've got fuel tanks and pumps that get gas to the dynos these bad boys get run and they get run pretty hard to make sure that when they leave we know that they're gonna be a good throttle how close are you ready okay so the avis is gonna do an engine pull we do a couple of small pulls to make sure everything is going up to speed properly and then you'll fit here that one big pole that's a small block chevy you know what what it is or what it's supposed to do this looks like it's a flat tactic cast iron headed small block she had these for us with a stroke of cranking and then we run it up you know just right around that 6000 rpm mark which you're probably not going to do the first thing you do once you get the engine installed 461 406. [Music] the torque 461. so you can see this engine and every engine has a different spec based off of the components so when we go through and look at it he's comparing to make sure that that engine met what it was supposed to so you can see it beat on horsepower and beat on torque from what the uh requirements were for that engine so the advertised number on when you buy an engine is the minimum number they could see here that's what we're yeah that's what our target is every time is to make sure that we're hitting at least what we're advertising that's cool when you put on a pulley kit and you get this bad boy ready to install you look at all the boxes in there somebody who doesn't do this every day has got a lot to figure out so when we're doing it here we've got guys who install pulley kits as one of their primary functions so they are able to go through open up the kits get it sorted out lay it out get it ready you can see he's…
