NOW A CERTIFIED S.E.A.L. ENGINE RE-BUILDER!

Racers in Michigan and surrounding states now have a new resource for crate engine re-building.  Baker Engineering has been granted the official seal of approval by the Sealed Engine Alliance Leaders (S.E.A.L.).  With this certification, BEI is now authorized to re-build crate engines used in circle track racing. The S.E.A.L. program ensures that engines are re-built to the original crate engine specifications.  Specific engine seals are required to provide this assurance.  Only approved engine builders can purchase the special seals.
