Default Crank?

Can you put a 4.100 stroke crank in a lq4 block? Would it be a good choice for the street?

yes you can put a 4.10 crank into a lq4 block. Is it good for the street, well that can be subjective as most say you shouldn't go more than 4.0 stroke because the piston rocks more because the cylinder wall is not long enough to accommodate the stroke length. There are some work arounds to this as some people experimented more than others with the longer stroke like a longer rod and a shorter piston. The easiest way to though and the safest way so you don't have excess oil burn is a 4.0 stroke.
