Tech Specifications for Inspection

​

·         No unapproved modifications, lightening, or changes of any kind will be allowed to any of the HMS ENFORCER parts.         

·         Max RPM 7000 – Recommended, not intended to be a CHIP Rule.

·         The HMS ENFORCER Head must be run as manufactured without modifications other than the following:

·         Head gasket surface may be milled/resurfaced for straightness and to achieve the minimum 61cc combustion chamber volume, however no angle milling of the head will be permitted.

·         Any valve job will be permitted with a valve seat angle of 45° only. The top cut can extend past the edge of the seat into the combustion chamber. Cutting and preparation of the valve job may not extend below the valve seat insert. All seat cuts are concentric to the valve stem centerline. Back cutting of the valves is permitted. No modifications to the cylinder head below the valve seat insert will be allowed. The opening diameter at the bottom of the valve seat insert shall not exceed 1.837 for the intake and 1.382 for the exhaust. (it is not uncommon to have machine marks on the combustion chamber walls caused by performing the valve job)

·         Intake manifold bolt holes can be slotted for alignment and the gasket surface may be milled/resurfaced for straightness and intake manifold sealing.

·         Pistons must be installed .005″ or more below the block deck surface.

·         Engine block may be sleeved for repairs or to correct worn cylinders. Maximum bore allowed will be 4.030″ plus up to an additional .005″ for over bore. Cylinder spacing must maintain 4.400″ cylinder to cylinder as per standard SBC specifications.

·         Lifter bores may be sleeved to repair damaged or worn blocks, max diameter .8477

·         No offset dowel pins or shifting of the head to block positioning will be permitted.

·         Crankshaft may be balanced, counter throws can be ground, lathe turned or drilled for lightening. If grinding or turning is used the counter throws may not be cut completely round. Adding weight for the purposes of balancing only is allowed.

·         Crankshaft Journals may be ground to a maximum of .010″ under on rods and mains.

·         Engine block can be chamfered and deburred on all corners and edges.

·         All engine parts laser labeled with “HMS/ENFORCER” along with the “QR-Code” the labeling must not be disturbed and must be readable at all times.

·         Any main or rod bearings will be allowed. No coatings will be allowed on rod or main bearings.

·         Any standard style cam bearings are allowed. Coatings are allowed on cam bearings.

·         Any engine fasteners of choice are permitted.

·         The only approved head gasket is Fel Pro 1043. It is allowed to enlarge the coolant flow holes, in the gasket, to reduce engine temperature, as described in the Fel Pro Installation Tips.

·         The only approved intake gasket is Fel Pro 1206. All other gaskets are the builder’s choice.

·         Only metal timing covers are allowed.

·         The approved oil pump is Melling M55HV and may be modified for oil pan clearance. The oil pump spring may be changed.

·         Optional oil pumps for Enforcer Engine: 1. Standard volume - Melling Select 10553​  2. High Volume - Melling M55HV

·         Steel valve spring shims are allowed.

·         Oil restrictors, All Star Performance Part # 90072, are permitted. As noted in the Dart SHP Iron Small Block Chevy -Technical Notes, under the Priority Main Oil System heading.

·         The specification data on all camshafts for the HMS ENFORCER Engines are tracked through Comp Cams. This data is available, upon request, to all tracks and technical personnel.

·         Any Questions on Technical Specifications not listed should be Addressed with HMS, at number below

·         No Other Modifications Can Be Made Unless Authorized By HMS

No substitutions or modifications may be made unless authorized by HMS and listed in these rules.

·           Bulletin for HMS ENFORCER Race Engine ****Clarification ( Not a Rule Change) Valve Locks for the HMS ENFORCER Engine must follow specs in the HMS ENFORCER Rule Book and Must remain magnetic material as furnished in the kits.

- SUPPLIER NOTE -

​

Due to sales of the Enforcer Engine exceeding projections, we developed a substitute part to help ensure supply met demand at the time. Both are considered legal parts. Details are shown below:

 

 

     ****NOTICE as of  07/27/2023 ****

The only change being made to the camshaft is the material. 

Comp Cams is changing the material used to manufacture the

  ENFORCER camshaft from cast to steel core due to the availability of the

cast cores from the supplier. Both cams are approved by NASCAR. The

camshaft specifications remains the same.
