[QUOTE="Andy@Livernois, post: 13740898, member: 62373"] Strokers are just as reliable as a non-stroker, IF, and only IF it has properly performed machining, and designed components. Unfortunately many engine shops are not familiar with the special prep work and tolerances needed for proper longevity. Also, too many times people arbitrarily machine an engine .020 over, which weakens the block, and make it have a shorter life than one that is only .002-.005 over like we target. The other side is that many companies take a standard modular piston, and make minimal changes to it's design to make it "work" in a stroker application. It takes both proper parts, and proper machining, but if both are there, it will live. [/QUOTE]
