dumb question? If you stroke a crank can you use stock rods or do you use shorter rods and they have to be custom built?

Normally, when you stroke the crank, due to the time, money and pain in the a$$ of doing all this, you go for broke. Sometimes that"s what you get as well... A lot of guys will actually make the rod journals smaller (more room in the crankcase), so your stock rods won"t work. Also, the rods in your tractor are designed for your crankcase. If you go making the crank bigger, the rods will likely not fit. So you either make your own rods - or build some out of 2...

if you stroke a crank, something has to change. Just as an example: if you stroke your crank 1", then the piston will now be sticking up .5" past the block with everything else stock. You have to either shorten the rod, change the piston pin location, or raise the height of the block. thousands of ways to compensate for the .5", but something has to change.

Yes something HAS to change BUT depending on how far you stroke you can still use stock rods.I have gone 1.5" using stock rods.

Depends on how far you go on the stroke.
