Trade: nice long rod + spacer plate for GOOD short rod crank

[Victork1982]

I can't use my +5mm long rod crank(HA2 6) because my cylinder wasn't set up for it. The rod is tight and the threads are near perfect. I didn't measure the spacer plate but I can, i assume it's +5mm. This was on my pro x 350. I expect a 72mm crank that is also tight with good threads. Pics to victork1982@gmail.com

Those pics of the crank, looks to be a STD 72mm stroke crank.
A stroker would have a plug welded in where the pin goes through & the hole bored in a different place to ad the +5 stroke.

If this is standard than why did my 350 pro x come with a spacer plate with this crank in it (4.75mm)?

Because the aftermarket 250R cylinder kits sold by CT Racing, LA Sleeve, ESR, LED, with a Pro-x or the new ESR cylinders, all those cylinder are machined so that they could be used on a TRX250R bottom end with a short rod crankshaft & old model 85/86 piston design, so, in turn for those cylinders to be used with a long rod crankshaft & old model 85/86 piston design, a 4.75mm thick spacer plate must be used for everything to work right.

A Honda OEM 250R short rod crankshaft, cant be bought anymore, so what I cant figure, why are the cylinders even machined that way any more so that they could be used on a short rod crankshaft, since you cant get them anymore.
Only brand new 250R short rod crankshaft that can be found, is the Hot Rods brand.

I thought 72mm was short rod Neil? Your first post you said mine looks like a standard 72mm but it was used with the plate??

a short rod and long rod has the same stroke 72mm.

[Victork1982]

So the crank is the same stroke but the plate just makes up the distance the longer rod goes up, got it
