With the machine work wrapped up, Mazzei turned his focus to the necessary new internal parts and assembly. He also tore down the heads to mill them and make sure everything checked out and resized the rods to make sure those were true. 030˝ and decked it, which made the 401 cid engine now 406 cid. Mazzei started his machine work on the 401 cid Nailhead by getting the crank turned. “The customer didn’t want to do too many performance upgrades, so we basically did a stock rebuild.” “When I took out the rings, they just fell apart,” he says. Luckily, the piston ring issue didn’t tear up the cylinders or cause any worse damage to other parts of the engine. We started tearing it apart and the big thing we found wrong with it was it had broken rings on the pistons, which is why it didn’t have any compression.” “It turned out the engine had been here in the shop before to have cylinder head work done. “The gentleman that brought in this Buick Nailhead has been a customer of mine in the past,” Mazzei says.

Mazzei is just a one-man shop, but the old school machinist has the capabilities to do almost everything in-house with the exception of line honing and grinding crankshafts. It was H&W Auto Parts, then Pat Young’s, which was a Federated service, and today, the shop is owned by Fisher Federated Auto Parts. Over the years, the shop has been bought out three times. I’ve been running the machine shop ever since.” “However, around ’96, Tom decided to leave the store and the machine shop and they offered me the job. “Since I knew a lot about cars, I actually started helping Tom in the machine shop,” he says. Not long after that, the Coventry store began to go out of business, so Mazzei was given the opportunity to join Tom at the Barberton store. The Barberton machine shop got all brand new machines back in 1993. Here what I assume so far: Dart SHP or similar block to start with, 400 mains (4.
