The only time we've found it necessary to grind in any add'l clearance is when you have the 4.250" stroke and the bores are smaller than the 3.312", e.g., for an .080" o/b you'd be grinding some!

Thanks, Gary in N.Y.

P.S. Due to the limited amount of room in this area it is the main reason we use the Scat rods, they will clear, the Eagle H-beam rods with a 1.100" beam width will NOT go with the 4.250" stroke in the program!
Yes, it’s 3.312 with the Scat rods.
