4 MiL questions..

[Bansh-eman]

I've had a few questions about the stroker crank also. (I hope you don't mind Wako)

 

Vitos has a 4mm stroker crank that does not have long rods on it... what is the benifit to having long rods? Without the longrods you can use the stock pistons correct? so why not go that way? 4mm stroker spacer plate and thats it?

 

sorry for the questions but I thought his might be good info to get out there.

 

 

thanks

the long rod reduces the angle at which the piston and rod are at when the motor fires. this takes take alot of stress off the motor. there is NO power gain from a long rod. it is only a longevity issue

I know it is hard to answer but how much more stress is put on the engine if you buy a 4mm stroker and not get the 5mm longrods to go with it.? or how long would a longrod last vs stock rod lenght

I'm sure there is some sort of math equation to figure it out but I'm not the guy that would know it.

 

As far as life of the motor. to be honest it's hit or miss. just because you build a motor on long rods doesnt mean t will last longer then a normal rod motor. there are so many factors that there is no ONE correct answer to that question.
