Re: Rod bearing clearance
Hiya Dave, The rods do stretch, my old school blown 11,000 rpm BBC had ~.090" piston to head and you could barely see the very minimal contact. A lot better Alum rods out there now(this was in '94) They do shrink from work hardening. I can't advise on clearances for that stroker as I've not do...

Re: Rod bearing clearance
aluminum rod trivia I have a customer that was concerned about rod stretch. I keep notes and made sure the room temp and parts are the same as my initial measurements. For 3 years we measured at season end. Each year the rods decreased in length 1-2 tenths per year. I cannot say for certain the rods...

I have PDFs of the modern stuff but they are a pain and don't contain near the info the old versions did.

What diameter is the rod journal on that crank ?

Re: Anyone familiar with D/C brand superchargers?

Agreed. Rocker balls and rod nuts for the budget win.
