badshee Posted October 16, 2006 Report Posted October 16, 2006 if you have a crank that has long rods is it a stroker like a 4 mil or what, im confused like crazy! Quote
blak banshee Posted October 16, 2006 Report Posted October 16, 2006 when the stroke of an engine is increased the con rods would have to be shorter to prevent the piston from contacing the cyl head. I ass ume this is the same for banshees. Quote
djackbanshee Posted October 16, 2006 Report Posted October 16, 2006 if you have a crank that has long rods is it a stroker like a 4 mil or what, im confused like crazy! No Strocker and long rod is different Stroker is when the strocke is bigger, Which means the piston goes further up and lower down Long rod is when the connecting rod is longer which makes the piston go higher but but not lower, by the way it goes higher even when its at its lowest point.

badshee Posted October 17, 2006 Author Report Posted October 17, 2006 so getting a crank with long rods is not the best idea? he wants 300 shipped for it and it is a hot rods also only like 2 hrs on it Quote
CombatTalon2 Posted October 17, 2006 Report Posted October 17, 2006 Actually a long rod doesnt change the stroke length at all. Since the Rod is 5Mil longer, the wrist pin hole in the piston is raised 5 Mil to acct for the differance in the Connecting rod. It eases the angles that the rod travels thru and is suposed to make the engine a bit more reliable. Quote
