keep in mind folks, the long stroke has some higher pistons speeds and the heavier rod and heavier piston means we have to pay close attention to NOT revving beyond 8400.
the reciprocating weight is much heavier than the sled design was. our NEW super crank comes with penalties.
Rpm limits will be lower than previous, more in line with the old RT and fusion..
Though the rod is replaceable, the rod PIN is not. damage from det and pre ignition will now require a full crankshaft replacement. I hope none of you thought the rod could just be changed out and go..lol oh no...
the marine crank repair services should be able to fix a good core but it wont be cheap like the old built up crank is to repair or replace.
no more backyard shops tapping on cranks with old wives tale fixes.. that in itself will help :face-icon-small-hap
lets hope it pans out for the best . no need for a high dollar trolling motor in a sled. save that for the bayliners ..
and ya, measured the demo and hope to be on jims dyno with a turbo asap. the flat landers would love to finally have a turbo thats worth the effort to own at sea level..
have a good summer
