Smile stroker kit

There are a lot of stroker kits available for Ford motors. Most require the block to be notched so the rod will clear the lower part of the cylinder. It's a simple procedure. Install the crank and torque it down. Using lot of 30 weight oil, install the pistons / rods with no rings into the cylinder. Don't forget to use the rod bearings. Do two cylinders at a time. Number one and five, two and six, etc. Slowly rotate the crank till the rod is close the the lower cylinder, mark where is touchs. Rotate the other way till the other rod is close to the cylinder and mark it. Use a grinder to emove a small amount of the cylinder till you have 1/10" clearance. Keep the filings off the bearing area. Keep the parts clean! Disc brake cleaner, air, soft rags what ever it takes. I hope the pictures will explain it better than I can.
