Hey what does stroking mean?
Rub it a couple times and it'll grow larger maybe? punch it a lil?

I almost responded the same way but here's the definition from Wikipedia
A Stroker kit is an aftermarket assembly that increases the displacement of a Reciprocating engine by lengthening the stroke of the piston. This is done by using a different crankshaft where the connecting rods have a greater radius to the axis of rotation of the crankshaft. While this increases displacement and torque it can potentially lower the limit to which the motor can rev safely compared to the stock configuration. The main advantages of using a stroker kit when rebuilding an engine are that one won't have to change to a larger engine block to significantly increase displacement and one can retain many existing parts from the previous engine.
A typical complete stroker kit is comprised of the crankshaft, connecting rods, pistons, piston pins, main bearings, rod bearings, and piston rings. This assembly is also called "the rotating assembly" or "the bottom end".

Sroking is increasing "swept' Volumn. The distance from TDC to BDC generally by means of a Crank with additional Stroke. Sroking increases Cubic displacement as does boring, BUT u can just bore so much til ur piston is floating in Water/Coolant. Also, u are playing with the "square" ----- The square being the ratio of stroke to Bore, Some Bore/Stroke ratios work better than others------The Chevy motors were a good example----All the same but different Bore/Stroke---265-283--rare 302--327--350-----The 327 was the majic Number, It had a perfect Ratio ----Super Hi Rever----Then the 383 "Stroker" 400 Crank in a 350 ---It had a BiG Blk feel that could Rev.

I could write a book on this ---Pistons have to be changed or Wrist Pin relocated so u dont Crash into Valves on TDC,,,, and because u are dealing with a different radius , Many times u have to clearence so the rods dont hit the blk etc at 90 degrees BTC. This is strocking in general ---There are kits that are less radical that eliminate some of the more intense modifications

yes, I always wanted to build my own engine from scratch...with the piston surface as big as a dinner plate and a short stroke.....and it would use the radial pattern rather than the V I really don't know why there aren't radial engines in some hi power cars....
