These Allison V-1710 crankshafts are a testament to the strength and durability of American engineering. During WWII, Cadillac Motor Car Division of General Motors was among the manufacturers producing Allison V-1710 engines under license, helping meet the enormous demand for reliable power in America’s warbirds.

Designed to withstand the demands of high-performance combat aviation, these crankshafts were built with serious strength and plenty of life left in them. Even after decades, many can be carefully inspected, measured, and reconditioned to return to service. A remarkable reminder of just how overbuilt these engines were.

Final testing is in the books for the -99 Yak Allison, and the results are looking damn good!

Our latest configuration showed a considerable improvement in horsepower, torque, and overall engine stability. After dialing everything in, the engine is running stronger, smoother, and more consistently than before.

The Yak engine is coming together! We're putting the finishing touches on it before it heads to the dyno. All that's left is timing the engine and verifying the carburetor flow settings to ensure everything is dialed in and performing exactly as it should.

At Strix Aero, we don't assume a part is serviceable just because it looks good. We measure it, inspect it, and verify it against specification, because when you're building engines that people trust with their lives, precision isn't optional.
