I recently removed my old worn engine as I had no oil pressure at idle. :repair: In taking apart the motor I discovered scratched piston sides, burned oil all throughout the bottom end, sludge everywhere and came to understand how my vehicle was taken care of before I purchased it.
Now I'm faced with the question - Do I build a stroker or just go for a stock rebuild?
STROKER PRO/CON
PRO:
More power
More torque
More AWESOMENESS
CON:
higher octane fuel required because of higher compression
more expensive to do - looking like $2500-$3000
jeepstroker.com forums *seem* to indicate less reliability :explosion
I'm almost always a fan of MORE, but in this case I am having a hard time justifying the cost involved, when the stock power plant was more than enough for me. Reliability is an absolute must in this case - this variable is the true decision maker.
Thoughts ::?
I appreciate any feedback, advice, comments, whatever!
