What's an offset grind? Firing timing or give the rods more space?

To change the stroke. Most people do it for more stroke. Here in Southern California I know of two very good places.

Oh, got it, memories from the old days. I didn't think that was worth the while anymore with off the shelf stroker cranks and drawbacks of weakening the crank.
