When they port the stock stroke cylinders they raise the ports x amount depending on the port job. When you put a 4 mill stroker crank in the piston falls down in the bore 2mm and comes up out of the bore 2 mm. Total of +4. When they port for the 4 mill they first lower the ports down 2mm, because the piston is 2 mm lower at BDC. Well you have your cylinders that have already have had the ports opeaned up, then you try to lower them for the stroker crank, now your ports are way to large and performance suffers.
