will it work!?

Post by rbwhat377 »

hey guys building my first jeep stroker. I am on a tight schedule and cant find anybody in Las Vegas to dish my pistons for me. Was wondering if I can get away with out dishing them. This is my set up.

4.2 crank
4.2 rods W/ arp studs
Kieth Black 2229-030
Comp cam 68-115-4
crower cam saver lifters
rollmaster double roller
HO head

Any help will be much appreciated!!!

If you haven't decked the block, the deck clearance is going to be near 0.050" with a quench of 0.093" (assuming 0.043" HG). Static CR will come in at ~9.75:1 so you'll have a highish compression plus a poor quench; not a good combination if you want to avoid pinging problems especially with a short duration cam like the 68-115-4.

Considering the temperature during the summer it sounds like a really bad idea.
