Precision in Everything We Do

The blue markings on the heads of the bolts indicate that the bolts have been torqued and checked. It is this kind of attention to detail that Kannady Racing Engines applies to all work performed.

The Sunnen VGS-20 is a state of the art seat and guide machine. We are able to perform a 5-angle valve job in a single operation. We also utilize Rottler centerless valve grinding equipment to machine all valves.

The equipment used to craft your precision engineered motor is the exact same as the equipment used to build NASCAR engines.

We have clients that race in all classes including factory stocks, limited modifieds, modifieds, late models, and of course... sprint cars!
