You guys are talking about a 4.25" stroke. We couldn't put that much stroke in our Ford motor due to rod to cam clearance. Read that we don't have enough. We have to slightly grind the big end of the rods for 4.09 stroke.




Bob, on other forums I've commented (and questioned) the combination of this low rod to stroke ratio on this package in regard to ring seal and ultimately life span... Any comment on a 1.3 compression height and 1.5 R/S? My assertion is that it should be expected to live a shorter life than a 4" arm and that the gain in power for that little more stroke isnt worth the expense.


Well, art is art, isn't it? Still, on the other hand, water is water! And east is east and west is west and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does. Now, uh... Now you tell me what you know.
