Considering stroker, looking for feedback

I've got a set of eagle rods and wiseco pistons that are 20 over with about 300 miles on them.

Did you spin a bearing?



And I don't want a 2.4 block because I just want to keep the stock block the cars came with. Out of curiosity, what advantage does the taller deck height offer?

Improved rod ratio, less cyl wall loading (scuffing) Rings and compression should last longer.

2.4s DO NOT have better rod ratio compared to a 2.3. They use a 100mm crank, just like a 2.3 and the rods are the exact same length (150mm) as a 2.3. However the 2.3 will have lighter pistons, so it's better for high rpms.

UNLESS you're using stroker pistons and longer rods in the 2.4.

I had a clutch issue, the clutch would not disengage and put so much pressure on the crank it mess up the thrust bearing and the crank. all the rod bearings are fine.
