Default Anyone running the 3.9 stroke?

Would it be more reliable in a daily driver since it doesn't pull the pistons out of the hole?

Some say no just stick with the 4” stroke. Most of the piston manufacturers have redesigned their pistons and have fixed this problem... however I get exactly what you’re saying and I would probably go with a 3.9” myself especially seeing your goal is more of reliability vs a max hp setup.

Have your stock crank offset ground to an Honda rod journal and it comes out to a 3.8x stroke.
