I recently threw a rod while ridin, it cracked the crankcases, tore up the sleeve.... evry 1 knos the destruction caused. So i ebay up some pretty fresh crankcases off an 03, and a new cylinder head already sleeved w/ a wiseco (89mm) got them both shipped to my door for around $300, but getting back to the subj- should i go with the HotRods +4mm crankshaft and a +4mm stroker piston or should i get a stock spec HR crank and a +4 (89mm)performance piston, i'm flipping the idea not because of money, more because of reliability and power increase issues. Does the 460 perform alot better than the 440 and if so does it sacrifice any reliability?

I dont know but it raises a good question.
if stock is 85 bore 70 stroke and you went to a 89 bore wouldnt the +4 stroke be more reliable because it keeps the same bore to stroke ratio as stock?
