Clearance Your Stroker Crank Block In Your Garage.

A little home machining to get my 347 Stroker that much closer to completion. My Early Ford Bronco Explorer engine is getting stroked, but not without some major headaches. I'll be discussing the headache in the next video.

Finally, someone who understands that you only need enough assembly lube to fill in a few thousands of a gap.

[@dinadaughtry8993]

Don't forget to lube the sides of the thrust bearing, and try a mixture of Lucas oil additive and 50weight oil applied with a brush for the mock up easy to clean after and will keep the bearing and crank safe

[@Anarchy-Is-Liberty]

If you can find a buddy to help, using a shop-vac while grinding really helps keep down the crap flying everywhere!

[@funkystangs2843]

This video helped me out a lot. Never did a stroker, and didn’t know I needed to do this. Looks like everything is turning out. Thanks!

[@alpinegarage8548]

Thanks Mr. Funky!

[@verbonloucks6498]

I allways use old used brgs, amd pistons without rings, makes easy pessey!

[@SBS_Auto]

Very cool 👍

[@Jeremy-iv9bc]

Put plugs in all your oil gallery holes just to make sure metal doesn’t get in there.

[@oklahomaoutdoors9554]

Nice

[@TheRaulr151]

So not sure if I missed it but what was the issue that had you so stressed?

[@alpinegarage8548]

I guess it was the fact that Speedmaster sent me the wrong Rods and pistons. They wouldn’t exchange them so I had to buy them again.

[@russellridge8623]

Didn’t you know these had to be notched? Machine shop should have if you had it line honed and decks ground. All 347s, 363s,some 331s unless a custom block have always required this.

[@alpinegarage8548]

Yes I did, but the two machine shops I used in this build were horrible and I didn’t want them touching anything else. Fortunately, This did not require a machine shop.

[@whiplashmachine]

Unless asked to, many shops won't just grind in clearance if they're not assembling. Since a lot still mock up and do it this same way, if they don't have the rotating assembly, nothing they can really do anyways. I have a program for these and do them on my mill, mock up after just to double check.

[@jasonochs8369]

My machine shop knows I'm building a 408 but I asked them NOT to clearance the block because in not paying them for something as simple as this

[@alpinegarage8548]

@@jasonochs8369 good Point. Same here.

[@KingJT80]

this is what makes me want to go 331 vs 347 because a lot of 331s dont need notched if you used scat i beam rods. avoid the whole dam problem but i have decent machine shops around me

Where you been man. Been a while since you posted!! Hope all is well!
