Pro mod 2020 PRO MOD TECHNICAL RULES & REGULATIONS It is ultimately the obligation of each participant to ensure that their conduct and equipment complies with all of the applicable rules, as they may be amended from time to time; any amendments supersede any previous rules regarding any technical and/or aspect. An amendment is effective upon the date of the publication of the amendment regardless of when a competitor receives the actual notice. Any new components, including engine components, suspension components, body designs, frame designs and/or components of any type utilized in competition must be approved by officials prior to being introduced into competition. ENGINE: GM pad number 19370602, 19258602 or 88958602 & GM part number 19318604 or 88958604.All engines are to remain sealed from the factory. These engines are sealed at the manifold, cylinder heads, front cover, and oil pan with special GM twist-off bolts or cap seals. The original factory seals (bolt type or cap seals) must remain unaltered. Tampering, removal, or modifications of any type and/or broken factory seals, bolt type or cap seals type, will not be permitted and will result in an immediate disqualification from the event (loss of points and money). The engine may be impounded immediately for further inspection.The exception to this will only be if a repair or rebuild is required. The repair/rebuild must be authorized by a Racing Series, at which time the engine may be repaired or possibly rebuilt per the guidelines set forth in the GM Technical Manual #88958668.DIRTcar, IMCA, FASTRAK, RUSH, Crate USA Generation Ill (yellow) & Generation IV (green) seals allowed. For any other sealing system, contact Freedom Tech for approval. Crate engines must not be altered, modified, or changed from factory specs.Engines must be sealed in all of the proper locations with either the factory GM twist off bolt heads or cap seals, series seal tags, or a combination of the “original” GM twist off bolts or cap seals and/or series seal tags.The sealed engines must remain intact and not be tampered with; any seals that have been tampered with, removed, or modified, and/or broken will make the engine illegal and will result in an immediate disqualification from the event (loss of points and money). The engine may be impounded immediately for further inspection. Modifying any internal engine parts or changing the parts from stock as delivered sealed from the factory will result in disqualification for the night’s event (loss of points and money), possible suspension from all competition for up to 365 days, and an indefinite probation.The permitted crate engines must not be altered, modified, or changed from the GM specifications set forth in the GM Technical Manual #88958668; no changes are allowed to the engine- intake manifold, heads, valve covers, front cover, oil pan, harmonic balancer, or any other part or parts on or in the engine.After much research it has been determined in some cases that original factory cylinder heads and valve springs do not meet the required correct install height. To correct this, shimming will be allowed to meet the correct install heights listed in the chart below. These updates will be published in a forthcoming version of the GM Technical/ Specification Manual.

Refusal to surrender an engine or other engine part for inspection, exchange or confiscation, will result in disqualification for the night’s event (loss of points and money),possible suspension from all competition for up to 365 days, and an indefinite probation; penalties apply to both driver and car owner.ANY VIOLATION OF THE ENGINE RULES AND/OR FACTORY SPECS INSIDE THE SEALING SYSTEM OF THE ENGINE WILL result in disqualification for the nights event (loss of points and money), possible suspension from all competition for up 365 days, and an indefinite probation; penalties apply to both driver and car owner. After the suspension period, the driver and/or car owner can only compete with an engine equipped with original factory GM sealing bolts or cap seals. For subsequent violations in regard to any illegal modification to any GM Performance Parts Crate Engine, an indefinite suspension may be issued. Any violation of the engine rules and/or factory specs outside the original GM twist off bolt heads or cap seals and/or permitted Series seal tags on the engine will result in the driver and car being disqualified from that event (loss of points and money).
