Author Topic: Case boring size and stroke question (Read 2748 times)

Couple questions here. I just bought a complete bottom end locally. Good shape and all I just have a couple questions. How can I assure myself that it has a stroker crank ( I was told it's a 4 mil ) and that the cases are bored for a big bore. I don't want to track down a big bore cylinder only to find out I have to tear the motor down first lol. Thanks in advance

Thanks I'll check that out

Is there a way to make sure the crank is a 4 mil ?

I was told it's an oem crank rebuilt as a stroker crank. I know Esr does it and I'm sure some other places do but is there a way to tell

Put in a wrist pin bearing and a wrist pin and measure the distance from the tin to the bottom of the wrist pin@ tdc and bdc. Subtract the bdc distance from the tdc and you should have a measurement of 76mm for a +4mm crank. You don't have to use a wrist pin, you could use the bottom or the top of the wrist pin hole on the rod if you wanted. Either way, it should get you close enough to tell whether it's a 4mill or not.
