+5 Long Rod


Recommended Posts

hey guys, im lookin into a +5 longrod and whatnot and i was just wondering if i need to mod my cases for that to work, i know about the spacer plate going on the bottom and that i should get my jugs ported for the best outcome but can this be done in a stock case??

Thanks

if im missing anything, please let me know

I'm not quite sure what you are driving at here. A LR crank is a +5mm longer rod length. The stroke doesn't change. Wiseco makes a "795" series piston which sets the wrist pin 5mm higher in the piston to accomodate the longer rod length. No case work is needed for this crank. I run one. I know. Now, for a 5mm stroker crank, you will need slight trenching of the case. you can drop in a 4mm, but not a 5. Porting will be needed to fully achieve the power gains of a stroker, but not needed on the LR crank.

ok so what im lookin at here is a "Hot Rods Long Rod Crankshaft Assembly" . I will not need case work done, all i need is the 795 series pistons and portwork done.  what cc's would this bring me up to?

anybody know??

A Long Rod Crank Wont increase the engines CC's, the long rod just makes a smaller angle between the centerline of the piston and the centerline of the rod when the piston is at the lowest part of the stroke which reduces the side load on piston skirts and adds reliability and potentially piston life on a high performance ported motor. It also increases dwell time where the piston is at the top and bottom of its stroke.

 

I has the same questions a while back in this thread

Ducman ..Sorry, misread the post..those specs are for +4stroker. Standard stroke long rod displacements are the same as stock cranks. He threw me off with the "Wiseco Hot Rods" verbage...my mind went straight to stroker long rods...Jim

Steve, High 70's maybe more with around 45-46 ft lbs maybe more because of thos ex. specs I went over with you....the good news....more where that came from with a few alterations we already talked about....Jim
