Dear brains trust,

I see that one if the problems with stroking LS engines is the fact that the piston skirt comes out of the liner more than for non stroked at the bottom of the stroke. This in turn leads to more piston wobble on the upstroke, increased piston skirt wear and increased oil consumption.

Is this also an issue with the 78.4 stroke crank in a 2270 cc Type 4 engine?

Is that a reason for staying with the 2.0 standard 71 mm stroke and going for a 2056cc engine instead?

Thanks

Dave
