does anyone on here have a hotrods stroker crank? if you do, i would like to get a lil info on it, so just send me a pm, or leave me a message here, thanks
Does he have like his own shop? or does he just get some things and sell them?
mattynice said:I spoke with a Hotrods sales rep on the phone about their stroker crankshaft and piston combo a while back. I was told it was stroked 4mm not 7mm which puts the total (+1mmbore and +4mmstroke) at 379cc not 396cc. Hotrods website lists it at 4mm but Dennis Kirk and Ebay-sellers list it as 7mm. (Although in Hotrods FAQ section it says 7mm). Has anyone measured it? I can't imagine Dennis Kirk not confirming it to be 7mm. Either way, 4mm or 7mm, I would run it with an oil-cooler. Are you sure you need a new crank? Why not just get your crank rebuilt...it's cheaper! http://www.cycleworksracing.net/labor.htm has it listed at $85 plus parts and put the rest of your money elsewhere. If you dont already have an edelbrock carb then spend your money on one.... it's AWESOME! (best with K & N and pipe). I got my edelbrock off Ebay for $250. The warrior will really come to life and is super reliable. An engine that is over-modified by extreme stroking and boring will definitely give you problems. Who the hell wants to wake-up eager on Saturday only to find out their quad won't start because their rings are bad from overheating or their head gasket is leaking. Engineers at Yamaha optimized the cylinder head and walls to transfer heat as necessary. I don't care what mechanics say, (I should know) about life span.....it depends on where and how you ride, temp, etc. If you want 400cc then save your money, sell your warrior, and buy a 400cc quad.
