Endyn B20 Build - Pound for Pound
 According to Widmer, the Serdi...  According to Widmer, the Serdi is the best machine he could find for the critical job of valve seats and angles. Incredibly expensive but extremely precise, this station is just one step an Endyn head goes through. |  Even after 40 years in the...  Even after 40 years in the business and thousands of dollars spent in purchasing multi-axis CNC machines, Widmer still does all the final work himself, making each head a custom piece matched to a particular application. |  Since we'll have the 14mm...  Since we'll have the 14mm taller Dart B20 block, we can use a taller rod for a better rod ratio. On the right is a stock rod and the left is the custom length Crower that will go into the rotating assembly. |  The proof machine: Endyn has...  The proof machine: Endyn has a Super Flow engine dyno on the premises to test with. |  Endyn has their pistons cast...  Endyn has their pistons cast by Wiseco, but that's pretty much it. The raw castings come in and are made into Endyn slugs incorporating the Roller Wave top, which aims to direct the airflow to the exhaust side. The pistons are made to match Endyn's custom combustion chambers, too. |  The Dart custom-cast, all-aluminum...  The Dart custom-cast, all-aluminum B20 block will be the bedrock of this engine build. Available in 2 versions, the one we're using has a 14mm taller deck than a stock B20 so longer rods can be used. This gives us a better rod ratio, about 1.7:1. |  From underneath, we see the...  From underneath, we see the robustness of the Dart's main webbings. |  One of the big selling points...  One of the big selling points of the Dart block is the closed deck design. While it may not provide the upper cylinder cooling of a stock open-deck block, it provides greater rigidity for the sleeves from top to bottom. The Dart sleeves are also of the same thickness from top to bottom and around the perimeter. | |
