The CMRE Stage 1 engine package is a simpler version of our Stage 2 engine at a more affordable price for enthusiasts who have milder performance goals. The components are the same high quality used in the Stage 2 except Stage 1 engines use street grade valves and steel retainers. We also resize the stock connecting rods & install ARP rod bolts instead of using custom Stage 2 aftermarket rods, so we can keep the cost down. These components work just fine as long as the engine is used in it's intended design range. Stage 1 porting consist of reworking the short turn radius, bowl cleanup and gasket match of the intake side. The exhaust side includes reworking the short turn radius. bowl cleanup, and runner porting & polishing The chambers are reworked for valve un-shrouding and seat blending. The Stage 1 engine package uses adjustable roller tip rocker arms which work fine with it's smaller camshaft.
