Been building engines for 30 years and nothing in this video was nonsense. If you guys need to watch this video a couple times. Do it and learn the proper procedure because this is all true for any engine. It’s nice to see the small engine game is getting so big They make it so easy to grab the right parts now with very little guess work.

My opinion on stroker cranks is that they defently produce more torque in the low end but you also increase the wear on the piston (increase in the rod angle = more forces on the cylinder wall = more friction and heat) so when you ride the engine on the race track and you are on crazy rpms you could overheat it or worst case cenario you lock it.. overall i would ride it just in something you need a lot of torque and max at 6500rpm (throttle stop or sm).. piston acceleration is also higher, so you got even more friction! Btw great video! Always learning something

@DeezGarage Ай бұрын

Shorter comp height piston+ long rod 😎= rod ratio

@christiannagy8417 Ай бұрын

@@DeezGarage yeah that's right, but did he install a shorter piston and a longer rod? I'm honestly not good in calculating in inch bc i'm from Austria.. btw i'm also watching driving4answers Videos and stuff about Balance, rotat'n assembly geometry and more.. he teaches it very understandfull 🤙

Great info ! Ec is pretty much on top of their game . Their website is full of info ! They have pages and pages of how to and specs . I’m using their 236 stroker kit and it rips !! I think I’m gonna do a video on it pretty soon and send it .

@justinwatts6210 3 ай бұрын

remember everyone with big enough valves and a fast enough piston you can actually pull in more air than the displacement essentially making a small amount of boost at high rpm

Just got my self a new 224 predator a few days ago from my mini Baja I’ve had for a while now I did as much as I could on a 0$ budget with the 196cc I ported, sanded the block, deleted the and head the one thing I bought was a thin head gasket, jetted the carb and ran 5:1 gears with a clutch and got 48 mph, I’m still waiting on the torque converter and I’m going to see what the 224 does stock with an exhaust and torque converter does then it’s billet rod cam valve springs flat top piston flywheel and slide carb time

Best thing for a stroker is the Dyno Cams 224 camshafts there already clearance in between the lobes and the lobes are narrowed for clearance plus have a slimmer compression release for the 58mm crankshafts. Cheers

Great video. If you have worked in the motor trade the dumb ass questions your have to respond to make you wonder if we are all the same species sometimes. So this is just the information people need plain and simple, if you are deep into an engine then this is exactly what you need to know. 👍🇬🇧🇺🇲

Hey can you tell me the height and width of the 301 pred I’m wanting to put on my doodle bug and harbor freight doesn’t put the right info. Because on the website it’s showing the 224cc being taller maybe wider then the 212cc and everyone’s saying there the same. So I’m not believing there size specs. Please respond with some info thank you.

If any of these calculations need to be precise you should use the skinny end of those calipers. As its purpose is to measure inside diameters IDs. Imagine a square block in a round hole. The gap between the squares flate side to the edge of the hole is the same as your calipers squared off thick part of the nose.
