sorry i know you asked for info but i thought this would help

 

He isn't wanting to know about stroking an engine, he's telling us we just stroke each others rods and egos here and offer no technical knowledge. Could it be because the majority of us drive B5 S4's and don't know much about the 4.2L engine since we don't own one or care to?

And to think i opened this thread to offer up some useful info/advise, only to see the OP making a fool of himself.
I'll keep my mechanical knowledge to myself on this one.
