The Dezod Performance Short Block is put through many machine processes to ensure a quality unit evolves. It is first jet washed in a non-toxic cleaning solution to clean the assembly and make sure we start with a clean slate. We do NOT bead blast any parts associated with the engine because experience has shown that no matter how well you clean a part after bead blasting, even a flat part, there is still glass bead that can come loose and find its way into your nice new expensive engine, which will prematurely destroy bearings in a heart beat.  So to avoid that problem, everything is jet washed or ultra sonically cleaned to prevent such dealings.  

After being cleaned, the block goes through an intense inspection for defects or cracks.  If none are found, the block gets welded in key areas for reinforcement purposes.  Stock sleeves are then cut out of the block and the super strong Darton MID (modular integrated deck) sleeves are installed in their place.  The Darton MID series sleeves provide a super strong ductile iron core and are flanged at the top to produce a semi open deck surface which allows coolant to flow and provide rigid support at the tops of the sleeves making for a bomb proof block.  Furthermore, Darton claims these sleeves are good to 55 PSI of boost pressure. 

 After the sleeving process has taken place, the block is line bored and honed for ARP main studs.  When a block is sleeved the main bearing bore must always be checked and corrected if needed.  There is almost always a need to correct main bore alignment in the block because a line bore must be performed anytime there is change to the fasteners that secure the main caps and crankshaft.  The extra torque from the new fasteners distorts these bores and you need this dimension set so that you can properly machine the rest of the engine. This is extremely vital because everything is referenced off of this measurement to ensure accuracy. 

After the line boring is complete, the cylinder head deck surface is indicated and machined to a fine RA finish of less than 40  to provide for a proper sealing surface for a Multi Layer Steel head gasket.  Once these two machine operations are performed the block is ready for rough bore and hone.  The 4 cylinders receive a rough bore and then a final 3 step plateau hone using a BHJ torque plate to ensure for the most round and true cylinder one can achieve.

Once line boring is complete, the crankshaft has its balance shaft gear removed.  Why do we remove these you might ask?  The balance shafts is a counter rotating shaft that is meant to cancel out vibration from the power pulses made by the engine rotational mass.  The balance shaft's weight is calculated to offset that of the stock rotating assembly.  Since this performance engine is no longer using a stock rotating assembly; the use of the balance shaft actually does harm than good. Therefore, removal of it is essential. 

The new K1 connecting rods and Wiseco forged pistons are all weighed and have their weights equalized within a tenth of a gram.  This delicate balancing process is performed to remove the stress that damaging harmonic vibrations place on a rotating assembly. Harmonic vibrations can cause fatigue, accelerated wear and ultimately damage to your race engine. The precautions are taken in each and every engine that leaves Dezod Motorsports. Rest assured, you are in good hands.

One of the final machine processes involves attention to the details of the crankshaft. A bob weight is calculated and then fixed to the crankshaft via custom tooling.  The balancing procedure is performed on the crankshaft, in which it is spun to a predetermined RPM in special fixturing device.  A computer then calculates where the heavy spots are in the crankshaft counter weights and indicates exactly where and how much material to remove to bring the rotating assembly into perfect harmony and balance.  Once this crucial operation is performed the crankshaft then has all of its journals micro-polished and cleaned, which concludes the machine processes.  All components are then jet washed once more and then the block is painted for aesthetics.

Before the final assembly of the blocks occur, all of their threaded holes are chased with a cleaning tap, the blocks are hand washed with hot soapy water and engine brushes and the bores properly lubed to prevent rust.  Mock assemblies are made to check all bearing clearances and ring gaps.  Once everything is adjusted to spec, the final assembly is made, in which everything is torqued to proper spec and sequence using the most high tech torque wrenches and stretch gauges available. 

Finally, the block is numbered, crated and shipped to your doorstep with a copy of our Race Engine Spec Form, which indicates all crucial torque specs and clearances.

In keeping with the core values of Dezod Motorsports: Quality, Reliability, Performance and Value we are proud to offer you Dezod Performance Engines!

No hype, no frills, just honest performance for your 2AZ-FE to keep your Scion reliable, off and on boost, at a great value price you have come to know and love us for.

There is a lot of misinformation online as to what should go into a built engine.  We have 10 years of professional engine building experience in house.  Our engine builder is an ASE certified Master Technician with L1 advanced engine diagnostic certification.  Mild-to-wild no task is too much.

STOCK AVAILABILITY AND CORE CHARGES:

Dezod is stepping up to the plate and keeping one 05-06 2AZ-FE street short block and 07-09 2AZ-FE street short block in stock ready to ship.  In order for us to keep this availability for all customers we require a re-buildable core be sent back to us in the crate we sent your engine in no later than 7 business days.  We hope to satisfy our customer demands by keeping engines in stock to avoid lengthy down times.

A re-buildable core is defined as a worn version of what we sent you.  No holes in the block, no broken ears, no spun journals on the crankshafts (we do not use oversized bearings and neither should you!).  No partial core refunds will be given.  Core charges are $1000.  Core charge will be refunded after we receive your re-buildable core and inspect it.  Inspection normally should take place no later than one day after receiving your core, work load depending. 

VERY IMPORTANT: In order for us to offer this kind of turn around and keep an engine handy on our shelves so that you do not have to send your engine in and wait a few weeks for it to be built we must have the cores returned to us in the time we specify.  We provide a crate with the new engine.  That crate is to be used in shipping the old engine back.  The engine must be secured in the same fashion we secured it to avoid damages in shipping.  When the engine is crated, just call us and we will schedule a pick up of the crate.  It’s as simple as that.  If you fail to call us for a pick up by the end of the 7^th business day you will have forfeited your core charge of $1000.  No refund will be issued and we will use that money to purchase another engine for re-build purposes.
