10 RULES FOR SUCCESSFUL STROKER BUILDS

• Select as long as a rod as possible to minimize the frictional losses from side loading and cut the engine's mechanical noise.
• Select the lightest reciprocating components for the bottom end.
• Use an effective crank damper
• Use an oil pan that keeps the oil away from the bottom end rotating assembly as entertainment will cost big power and may lead to failure.
• Go for as high a compression ratio as possible as it will off-set the engine's reduced mechanical efficiency due to it's greater piston friction.
• Use cylinders heads with valves as large as possible as there are a lot more cubes to feed.
• Be sure to tighten up the cam's lobe centerline angle (LCA) from whatever was optimum before by about 1 degree for every 16 cubic inches of capacity increase.
• Increase valve lift at least the same proportion as the increase in displacement.
• Make sure the induction system has enough flow capability to handle the extra cubic inches.
• Try to keep the induction system cool as this makes more difference with a stoked engine.

We offer both Cast and Forged options. All rotating assemblies come with .030" over bore pistons, unless otherwise indicated.If you require a different bore, please advise your sales representative. In addition, we offer Lightweight Pro Comp & Superlight assemblies.
