stroker?

[EXevan91]

ok i was wondering if you could use a regular say 416 piston with the hot rods stroker crank ? cuz i see that it is supposed to go with a special piston but...

alright thanx in advance , evan

[400exstud]

no, you can't

[EXevan91]

itll smack the valves right ?

[underpowered]

the stroke piston has the wrist pin hole moved up 2mm to keep the piston from hitting the valves. TC racing makes a 2mm shorter rod to be used with a stroker crank so you can use any piston you want instead of the special pistons.

The strokers that utilize a shorter rod also require a custom piston, some of the piston skirt has to be shaved off.

ok how much of a Difference will the 416 with a and with a +4 Stroker crank Then just a 416 with a cam

and i mean is it really worth the $

[Wheelie]

I had to split my cases anyway, so I took advantage of the situation. IMO it was worth every penny. It made it a completely different machine.

FYI--mine is a 416 bore w/a +4mm stroke.

I agree, turns your quad into a whole new animal. Can you say torque monster?? :devil:

Mine is a 416 bore with a +7 stroke btw

I was seriously considering GT Thunder, but ended up going w/Powroll instead.

Torque monster is an understatement. This thing pulls hard from damn near idle on up.

I love it!

I swear i will never go back to a big bore. There is somethign to be said about a built stroker engine. I LOVE MINE!!

LOL I concur. My old 440 big bore was laughable compared to this stroker engine. I love how you get huge torque from the longer stroke but it still revs lightning quick due to the 416 bore. The old slow-revving stroker stereotype just doesn't seem to apply :cool:

[Wheelie]

The slow revving stroker concept is outdated. Mine revs a helluva lot faster than stock.

A quick revving engine w/gobs of torque and HP, what more could someone ask for?:D

yeah when i ride my buddies 440 big bore it makes me laugh, i almost have to get out a sand timer to see how "quick" it revs. Its just a slug!!!

[hondaboy400ex55]

HondaBoy--

Mine's ugly right now, need new plastics.

With gaskets and all, I've got about 1400-1500 into mine. I also did my own assembly and teardown.
