Bessel Block Support - Press Release

Press Release

Bessel Motorsports Announces the Industry - Exclusive

Bessel Block Support.

St.Charles, Missouri - December 24, 2009: Bessel Motorsports, Inc. the home of the exceptional Bessel splayed caps have captured the racing industry once again with its patent - pending Bessel Block Supports. Which provide significantly improved block support by adding a .003" pre-load in the engine block.

Many diehard Ford enthusiasts knows, the 302 Ford factory blocks are notorious for splitting at 500 - 550 hp and so is the new 360 Chrysler Magnum blocks. These blocks cannot withstand the increased levels of horsepower of today’s power additives such as stroker kits, large amounts of compression, NOS, turbos, and superchargers. The consequence is always the same the block will split down the lifter valley area, which quickly destroys everything.

The solution is easy the new Bessel Block Support, but lets look at why these blocks split in the first place. The answer has always been right on top of your motor. The intake manifold is the reason for this weak design and destruction, when you bolt up a 302 Ford, 360 Chrysler Magnum manifolds your Intake bolts will go straight down into the block, and this puts a wedge into your blocks. As your horsepower number go up you are causing a great amount of stress and flexing on the block. With the wedge in the block it simply cannot withstand the levels of high loads, and is unable, to live up to advances in engine power.

Now, lets look at the 350 Chevy manifold how many of those blocks have you seen split down the middle? Almost none the reason being the Intake manifold does not put a wedge in the block. Your small block Chevy manifold bolts go in at angle putting a pre-load into your block.

The Bessel Block design puts a .003" pre-load in your block (the block will pull itself together like the small block Chevy manifold does) and is held in position with six dowel pins and cap screws.

The Bessel Block support system overwhelmingly increases the blocks stability. These are precision block supports, which are designed from the centerline of the camshaft. The Bessel Block Supports must be installed with a bridge-port or CNC machine.

Bessel Block Supports come with all hardware and instructions. See for yourself how the Bessel Block Supports stand up to the competition visit www.besselmotorsports.com for a more detailed demonstration of its dependability and superior performance.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Bessel Motorsports’ Bessel Splayed Caps

ST. CHARLES, Missouri – January 1, 2008 - For over Twenty-five years Bessel Motorsports Inc. has been defining

machining leadership in the automotive field, but only recently have they captured international notoriety

for their exceptional racing cap alternative, the Bessel Splayed Caps. Bessel Motorsports

industry-exclusive design is blowing away the competition by providing a reliable alternative for

high-application horsepower vehicles, and is the first major improvement in splayed cap technology in over

half a century.

As any die-hard racing enthusiast knows, typical racing caps are unable to withstand the increasing

specification levels of high loads, and are unable to live up to advances in engine power. When stock

caps are used, the motor will knock the register out of the cap ("cap chatter"), this causes a great

amount of bearing damage and horsepower loss. The consequence is a flexing of the block, which quickly

destroys the main bearings and eventually, the crankshaft.

Now, let us look at the Bessel Splayed Caps (U.S. Patent # 7,322,750) in comparison. Not only an improvement by

its superior cross-sectional strength, but the amazing advantage is its ability to lock into the block and

eliminate the ability of the cap to move inward. And if the cap cannot move inward, then there is no "cap

chatter" - no "cap chatter" means NO horsepower loss, NO bearing damage, and NO destruction of the

crankshaft!

Simply put, the Bessel Splayed Caps overwhelmingly increases cap stability. This breakthrough design improves reliability in

High-stressed engines by locking-in with the block and reliving high stress loads in the middle of the

block to the outside pan rails. This is accomplished through the precision machining

process of the block. It also reduces distortion of the main-bearing bores by increasing the cap’s resistance to closing up under

high loads. Bessel Splayed Caps are made of 1028 Billet steel, this offers a tensile

strength of 87,000 PSI and yield strength of 72,000 PSI. This strength is key because it absorbs more

shock than other makes and is the perfect balance of carbon and steel, keeping the steel as strong as possible without being too brittle.

See for yourself how the Bessel Splayed Caps stands up to the competition. Visit www.Besselmotorsports.com for a more detailed demonstration

of its dependability and superior performance. Bessel Motorsports is committed to bringing reliability, precision, and honest products to the die-hard

racing enthusiast by helping clients all over the world "Lock In the Power".
