  Aluminum Block Repair
  INCREDIBLE ALUMINUM REPAIR!

  
  Before

  
  After

  Many years ago, one of the owners of this original all aluminum ZL1 Camaro engine block had ground off the "Winters" logo located on the front face of this block. Camaro Hi-Performance recreated this factory casting from scratch using an old aluminum racing piston. We used a hole saw to cut into the front of the block and inserted the new recreated "Winters" casting logo. After precise welding and our reskinning process, not even the most detailed inspection could reveal this repair. Ask about our aluminum repair services.....we are simply the best!

  HERE'S A TYPICAL TRAIN WRECK WELD REPAIR JOB THAT COMES IN TO OUR SHOP TO SEE IF WE CAN FIX IT AND MAKE IT RIGHT

  
  TAKE A LOOK AFTER WE PERFORM OUR MAGIC, OUR ALUMINUM REPAIR IS BETTER DESCRIBED AS A WORK OF ART. WE ARE SIMPLY THE BEST IN THE COUNTRY WHEN IT COMES TO ALUMINUM REPAIR!

  
  THE FINISHED PRODUCT AFTER OUR RESKINNING PROCESS, THE INTAKE IS LIKE BRAND NEW AND READY TO INSTALL.

  
  Here is probably some of our best aluminum repair work to date. This 1967 427 Tri-power was in a car fire. The front of this intake was severely melted from the intense heat of the engine fire. We cut out the bad areas and welded in new material to match the original profile and contour of the intake. All cylinder head mating surfaces were milled true.

  
  This intake is now like new and ready to install. No trick photography here. Just another example of how dedicated we are to being the best aluminum repair facility in the country.

  Engine Bay Detailing

  

  Here is a recently completed engine bay detail job by Camaro Hi-Performance. The car is a 1969 Hugger Orange Z/28 Camaro. Another happy customer.

  
  Distributor Restoration:

  Need your distributor restored, then you've come to the right place. Camaro Hi-Performance specializes in AC Delco distributor restoration and pride ourselves as being the best in the business. If you don't believe us, read our customer feedback. We restore more distributors than anyone in the restoration business. Here are some of the facts: we first disassemble all distributors to inspect for wear. We reskin (a gentle tumbling process) that restores the aluminum housing to brand new original condition. Cast iron units are glass beaded and painted semi gloss black. When the assembly process begins, we blueprint every distributor checking and setting clearances for ultimate performance. A new Delco vacuum advance is installed and the distributor is tested on Sun #404 Distributor machine. High-quality Accel points and condenser are used and tested to 8000rpm. You also receive a certified calibration data sheet showing every detail about your unit and how the curve is set up.

  Below we will show you some photos comparing our distributor work to another inferior competitor of ours.

  

  This photo shows an inferior rebuild from a shop in Pennsylvania, note that we have a feeler gage showing about .070" in end play between the distributor housing and the gear. This is poor rebuilding practice and unacceptable. This much clearance will cause serious dwell fluxuation problems when the engine rpm's are increased.

  

  Here is the gear end clearance setting done by us. We set all end clearances to .020" or less.

  

  Our competitor uses stock heavy weight springs that won't allow your centrifical advance to work properly. With these springs, total centrifical advance will not come in until 5500rpm. Throttle response suffers and you lose power and idle characteristics.

  

  We use a special light weight spring that lets all of the centrifical advance come in at 2800-3000rpm. Setting up your distributor this way increases power, throttle response and better engine idle.

  

  Our competitior uses inferior points (only good to 5000rpm) without a lubricated felt pad on the point rubbing block. Doing this will wear out your point rubbing block in no time and cause dwell problems!

  We use a high quality Accel GM point set that tests well to 8000rpm. We also install a felt rubbing block to keep wear to a minimum.

  

  Camaro Hi-Performance also has a special advance bushing made for all GM distributors. Our bushings are oversize allowing us to shorten the advance curve making better engine power and throttle response.

  

  Here is a typical calibration certificate that we give to you, the customer with every distributor that we restore.

  

  Here is our Sun #404 distributor machine. All distributors we restore are tested to 8000rpm.

  
  All distributors are shrink wrapped before we box them up for shipping back to the customer.
