When shopping for a new piston & cylinder kit, connecting rods, or a crankshaft you'll notice they come in different options. There are Stock builds, and there are Stroker builds. Both are great options, and we hope to differentiate the two without getting too technical. Building Stroker engines is not something we recommend for novices. There are many different measurements to consider in order for your parts to work together. Engine case work may also be required. The purpose of this article is only to explain the difference between standard and stroker, so you can choose whatever engine is right for your ride.

There is no single way to build a Stroker engine. Configurations can be mixed and matched so we will avoid throwing numbers at you in this introductory article.
