Precision engine machining isn’t something learned overnight.

In “Educated Experience,” Scott Sehr shares how a childhood fascination with performance engines, formal machining education, years of hands-on practice, and an unwavering focus on detail led to the founding of Sehr Performance Machine in 1996.

Nearly every great engine build begins with knowledge, patience, and the willingness to keep improving.

Some classic cars are built to win trophies. This one is helping build something even more meaningful.

Father Richard Baumberger’s Cardinal Red 1968 Mercury Cougar XR7 is being raffled to benefit Ave Maria Catholic School. Powered by a 390 V-8 and restored by Cliff Avenue Upholstery & Restoration, the Cougar represents far more than horsepower. It also tells the story of a decades-long friendship between a Catholic priest and a Lutheran restoration expert.

A cheaper engine part isn’t always a better deal.

In “Parts Aren’t Just Parts,” Scott Sehr explains how poor tolerances, off-center passages, incomplete kits, and questionable components can create costly problems during an engine build.

A quality machine shop offers more than machining. It provides proven parts, trusted sourcing, proper preparation, and the experience needed to get the combination right the first time.
