Come to find out I need a new rod bearing. What is my cheapest option to get this thing back together?
Worn rod bearing
- Thread starter monster mudder
- Start date
i would say try and find a good bottom end and swap all your parts to do that, or try and find a good engine builder and have him replace your crank, if you do that you mite as well replace your crank bearings and seals since he already has it apart.
bearings and seals definitly getting done. With the stroker crank though, won't head work and porting need to be done along with it?
Would going with a stroker effect the a/f needing needle adjustments? This isn't a build for me or else I would go w/ a stroker, but the guy isn't very mechanically inclined so trying to keep it as reliable as possible for as cheap as possible for him. lol
I dont think it would really affect any a/f ratios but you will have to jet richer for it. a stroker crank should be easy enough for anyone with reasonable experience to install dont do it if you dont trust the person working on it though.
Porting is recommended but not needed for a stroker

Thats what I meant by A/F was needing to rejet it which I wouldn't wanna have to do.
So I guess just go snag a standard stroke vitos or hot rodz crank off ebay?
affecting the air fuel ratio is why you have to rejet....
if you dont want to mess with much, just have your crank rebuilt or get a new stock stroke crank
if it's for someone else who doesnt have a clue, put it together with OEM parts, Jet the whole thing a little on the fat side and call it a day.
