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.
Dyno Service
Kannady Racing Engines offers dyno service. A dyno session lets your engine be run and measured under load in the shop instead of finding out at the track.
Bring your own engine or have it run as part of a KRE build. Tell us what you need and Kannady will follow up to schedule and quote your session.

Special thanks to J.B. Cook, Motor Mike, Rick Sisk and Dennis Wells. These men have played a huge role in cultivating the knowledge, passion, precision, and dedication that goes into EVERY engine that we build.
Every KRE engine is built for the track you race. Tell us about your car, your track and your rules. Every build is custom—Kannady will follow up with a quote.
