Need Help w/ Stroker Setup.

[dherron]

I got my G64B crankshaft today, courtesy of Auto Zone, SBR couldnt find one for 3 months. Ok now to the things i need help with. I set it in today and here are the things I know that do and dont need modified. I will have to cut the Main Cap connecting braces, and i will not need anything specially machined for the thrust bearing like some people have told me. There is plenty of clearance there.

My question is will my Eagle H-beams hit the cylinder walls and will the pistons slap the oilers? This is a pretty expensive job I'm doing here so I would love to do it right. Any advice to look out for would be great.

I have searched and searched on here for the answers but always come up with blanks.

Thanks,
Fellow DSMer

when i built my 2.3 my eagle h-beams never hit the cylinder walls and nothing ever needed to be machined or notched.. but i THINK that ive read that other people have had to have thier block notched somewhere.. you should plug the oil squirters as you wont need them and they wont really serve a purpose if your running forged pistons.. the first time my stroker was built i didnt have them removed. eventually somehow my piston ended up hitting the squirter and broke off 2 of them in the motor..so the next time the 2.3 was built i had them blocked off.. no problems at all..you also wont need to run a aftermarket crank pulley.. you should keep the stocker and run it as it will help w/ the harmonics of the bigger stroke.. and your not going to turn more then 8300 rpm's anyways.. and that is why most people run the aftermarket crank pulley on the stock 2.0 because your going to try and turn a higher rpm..if the motor is built for it i guess. and i also wouldnt and havent run balance shafts w/ the 2.3 either.. i dont know if you can still search the archives or not since the change on the site but when i was building my stroker i was on here ALL the time reading, posting and getting other peoples opinions on what to and what not to do... do a search for oil squirters, 2.3, 2.3 stroker, and fp3575 or 3575 and im sure you will find lots of my threads/posts... and everyone elses as well..and it will help you see the light grasshopper .. good luck
