We would make the stroke 6 and the rod length 4, assuming we're using the same pistons (for arguments sake). this means that at TDC they both still add up to 10, so valve clearances aren't an issue. However, at BDC, our longer stroke is bringing our shorter rod further down the bore. </td></tr></table><span id='postcolor'>
you sir are absolutly right!...well with your explain at least.
lets take a closer look!
stroke = 5mm
rod length = 5mm
total at full hight = 10mm
total at lowest hight = 0mm ( lets make this simple)
stroke = 6mm
rod length = 4mm
total at full hight = 10mm
total at lowest hight = -1mm
look at that, gained displacement, the problem with that th many stroker kits, like the one that is sold for the 850, crower honda stroker kit, jun, all do your + stroke - rod lenght, but the - rod lenght isnt exactly 6+4 = 10....all of them are more like 6 + 4.05 = 10.05 that .05 may seem small but it does take away from the combusion chamber....u have have had the idea that i was talking full mm adds..but im not...but slight increase = added compression and more cc's
the reason i put mr. x is beacause i didnt want to make it seem that i was flaming or trying to god look at this fool, <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

....and for the other one, strokeing does add more compression and stress, if you dont believe me call crower, check out their site crower.com or maybe you want to ask jun, or any other company that makes stroker kits...sorry kid...it's well know that stroking adds crazy stress to the block....."but dont take my word for it" <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='
