Reply to "408 Stroker Life Expectancy"

This may open a can of worms ..but arent we talking about LOW rod ratios and HIGH rod angles which cause wear and stress on the side of cylinder walls .. in our case it seems to accur where you take a 4.0 bore and increase the stroke and rod length and the ring pack becomes more compact and even at time intersects into the oil rings ( which some believe has no impact on oil useage ..LOL ) the psiton is shorter ( some believe the shorter the piston the shorter the skirt .. creates a mass amount of stress on the walls and at some piont in a MAX STROKER that piston wants to go thru the side of the wall rather then up .. DEPENDABILITY IS DEFINATELY COMPROMISED AND YOU REACH A LIMIT ON HOW FAR YOU CAN STROKE A MOTOR BEFORE SOME COMONENT IS SACRIFICED.

a 1.5 is the lowest rod ratio and a 408 is a 1.53.
