Jumped into a stroker like I did that mud hole
Posted: December 6th, 2019, 2:40 pm
Back in February I attempted to use our 2000 Jeep Wrangler as a boat. I went through multiple sandy high water holes and after 30 minutes killed our 4.0. I took apart the motor and it looked terrible. I was amazed how much sand made it all the way down into the bottom of the oil pan. Knowing I'd likely need to replace many parts I opted for a Stage 1 stroker kit from Clegg. I do most mechanic work on my own, but didn't want to take on rebuilding an engine. I got the long block back a month ago and it's been sitting in my garage. Life has been busy and I'm almost ready to put this engine back in. A few nights ago I was looking into replacing my injectors and came across this website. I discovered I should have done a lot more research before going the stroker route. I spent about 4 hours reading through posts and I'm still a bit confused.
My original goal with the stroker was to gain some torque and horse power while still using 87 octane.
I figured it best to start with the Static/Dynamic Compression Ratio Calculator
I'm having difficulty finding the thickness of the head gasket used, Enginetech J242K-3
I'm also having difficulty determining cam lobe separation angle and if the cam is advanced or retarded, Enginetech ES242
I think the LSA is 107.5
KB Hypereutectic Dish Pistons -27.5cc #KB421
Cast Piston Rings #E667
Scat Enterprises 9000 Series Cast Steel Crankshaft 3.895” Stroke #9-4.2L-3895
Scat Forged Connecting Rods 4.0L 242ci 6.125” (got new ones as I didn't want to wait for a set of reconditioned)
Any help is appreciated.
