cant u get it machined for more room?

 

Get what machined? Usually when you stroke a engine, but depending on how radical the design, the builder needs to "trench' the cases. When the rod is at BDC sometimes the cases don't allow enough room for the rod, so a space needs to be cut to allow the rod to pass. This dosn't always have to be done, but depending how much you stroke and how much clearences your cases have.

 

i heard There is a couple ways to setup a stroker.Many people use a stroker plate between
cylinder and head,and some people machine the domes for the clearence.when it is machined you dont have to buy spacers and gaskets...right?

 

I have never heard of people machining the head, because some strokers run up to +5mm, and thats alot of material to remove from the head. Most people use a spacer plate, but you could also run a shorter rod, but then it's kind of defeating the purpose of a stroker motor. Others use a modified piston that relocates the wrist pin.
