Budget stroker crank issues
Posted: March 1st, 2021, 8:08 am
Long story short I bought a used supposedly running 4.2 to pull the crank and rods for a super budget stroker, opened it up, five good cylinders and one with the crank worn down almost 1/32 of an inch. 
I'm not looking to spend thousands on this but do I have a choice at this point? I was planning on a cheap simple 4.5 so stock pistons, 4.2 rods, etc. Besides the crank/rods the only thing I was really considering changing was switching the cam to the es1122r if a can scrounge together the parts to switch from the thrust plate to the pressure pin. It is going in an 02 wrangler.
