Re: [Amc-list] Con Rods

[Jim Blair <carnuck@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The problem I am trying to avoid is the
piston coming down too far in the bore and "kanting" (slapping the
piston back and forth while out of the bore) enough that the skirt
shatters. So far that's the only death of strokers that has been noted
(other than poor machining)

.020 off the head will boost cr.  it won't do anything for 'squish'.
.040 off the block is a lot.  it -may- be possible...
