stock rods in a 5mm stroker engine not for me the bottom end in strokers cop a hammering wait and buy some rods.
Only 3mm more stroke than a K8, 20mm piston pins as apposed to 18mm on K8 11.5:1 CR.
She'll be right--- I hope. GEN1 rods work fine in a 300HP Turbo. Should be OK in 260-270HP job---I hope.

Gen 1 rods are not as good as gen 2 rods,and turbo is way softer on rods than NA
many have enough problems keeping strokers together without shortcutting
Just stuck it in a box, sent to USA & bingo. 5mm Offset Stroker Crank for 68mm stroke, for 86mm Offset Big Block for 1580cc. Threw new bearings in & conrod bolts. Cheers.
Anyway got to go before Rod & Heidi collude to move all my posts to some control freak archive highway.
"Where I live" Not by choice. Only stuck here cause of some stupid drunk woman driver and a communist NSW Labor Gopvernment's stupid legislation.
Gruntmax, moving your thread to the archive section is not personal and never will be. As long as you continue to break the S&R guidelines, your posts will be moved for the health of the club. It is the same set of rules for every member, but your threads are moved more than anyone elses. Have you thought about why that is?
Rather than posting inflamatory material on this site, why not have a look for another site where material like that is welcomed. That way you could talk busas here with no problem.
