stroker engine help

[juddsgsx]

Ok i might be getting a 2.3 stroker. Is there anything i should know problem wise about install or any problems i'm gonna run into. What am i gonna need to change because i'm not too sure. I'm used to just having to figure things out but i think i'm gonna need help on this one.

ok....

but its true, unless the motor is totally balenced you shouldent rev a stroker to 7500 like you can a normal 2.0...

... and rod angles, piston speed, valve train components have no part in determining the maximum "safe" rpm

A 2.3 built with crower/eagle/pauter rods is good for AT LEAST 8000 using the STOCK valve train.

No, but the STROKE does.. such a long stroke going so fast causes alot more stress on alot of parts, such as rods, pistons, and the crank.. etc unless you have a FULLY BUILT bottom end you shouldent rev a stroker that high..

a 2.0 non stroker with the same components will ALWAYS have a higher rev tolerence than a equally fitted stroker..

dont know why people like the stroker anyway, more stroke = more torque and more chance of breaking shit on an already limited tranny.. unless you have a built tranny.. which you would need to shift at 8 k any way, but what do i know...

build a stroker with stock bottom end parts and you better enjoy it because it wont last very long.

to get good revs..
crank
rods
pistons

need to be pretty badass.. to rev as high as stock 2.0..

You should really consider stopping now that you are so far behind. Plus I really hate it when people go on spouting off about things that they have no real world experience to back up.

FOR YEARS PEOPLE HAVE BUILT STROKERS WITH STOCK PARTS (yeah stock, shave the top of the piston down) AND REV'ED THEM TO BEYOND WHERE THE TRANNY CAN SHIFT.

Buschur along with a few others back in 95 or 96 was shifting a stroker at close to 9k. The only risk involved is possible valve float from a weak spring.

The motor is a 6 bolt. It's already got eagle rods, weisco (sp) pistons, bs removal, etc. It's been built and i was gonna buy it and build it up further. I was just wondering if i would have a problem with installing this or if it's any different than just swapping in a stock motor?

 

[Wobble]

If you think you can build a stroker from stock parts and have it last any appreciable amount of time, you are fools, end of story..

Yeah, that's me. I'm an old fool with close to 10yrs. working on DSM's.

I'm not going to jump your case any more. I'll ask you to read for yourself in the old Talon Digest or to pick up the phone and call to talk to some of the older vendors around before you make an assumption.
