Max stroke/rod lth on resleeved block Hello all, now i know the issues with having anything bigger than a 4.125" stroke (piston pin height) so the question i have is!
Would there be the same issues of the ring stacks coming out the bottom of the bores if i was to use say, a 4.250" stroke with a shorter rod?
The way i see it is it puts the ring stack up higher as the piston pin height would be greater.
For example a 4.250" stroke with a 6.0" rod and standard deck height @ zero would work out to around 1.1XX piston pin height.
Or is it a case of the longer stroke still pulling it out of the bores and shortening the rod lth worsening this situation.
I have a re-sleeved block that the liner is 5.600" in lth so just running through a few scenarios and would like feedback from the knowledgeable persons of this forum.
All feedback greatly appreciated.
