If two engines had the same displacement but one had a longer stroke , wouldn't the longer stroked engine have more torque at lower rpms ???
Yes...The longer arm can be expressed as a ratio change...increased mechanical advantage, just as you you would get by lowering your gearing, but without the downside (not counting increased piston speed) :cheers:TOMPAGLIA2 said:If two engines had the same displacement but one had a longer stroke , wouldn't the longer stroked engine have more torque at lower rpms ???
That's why you should always combine the two.Milehog said:Yeah, the stroker has a longer arm to push against, but the big bore engine pushes harder against it's shorter arm.
Depends .. and others here have better answers .. but anything you do to increase power affects other things - advantages vs disadvantages.TOMPAGLIA2 said:Appreciate everyone's input and info.
would there be any additonal advantages related to power stoke - the amount of push on each stroke relative to combustion should also be increased???
