Stroker 3+ crank spacer question

[joedirt5724]

My blaster has been blown up since march. It broke a skirt off the piston after being about 4 months old. So i ordered all the parts to redo the motor, with the new stroker 3+ crank. Vitos sent me 2 paper base gaskets, and what look to be 2 metal base gaskets that i would assume to be the spacers. Can some one tell me how to put the spacer on? It didnt come with any instructions at all. Thanks

one, don't use the paper gaskets, two get the head milled so u dont need the space, and there is a couple less places to leak

 

[joedirt5724]

i like that idea but im runnin out of cash, i just need to know what order they go. And i bought a high comp metal base gasket, so i want that to go in place of the paper.

 

[Whitty21]

should be gasket spacer gasket

 

[joedirt5724]

I understand that, i received 2 metal spacers, and 2 paper gaskets, did they send me one of each to many? And how do they stack?

 

[Whitty21]

hmmmm well maybe someone else can help u

 

[joedirt5724]

thanks anyways..

When I put my 3mm the portin and cut my head told me to run all the gasket and spacer otherwise I'll hit the head. But think of it this way you will have to pretty much cut the head done t nothin and you will still be runnin a higher comp and when you a higher comp around 160 and that means u need to run race gas and the motor has a much greater chance of blowin up so i would run the spacer and gasket

 

[BlasterCrazy]

yes they sent you the wrong amount there should be two paper and one metal

 

[scotj77]

sounds like they sent you one to many spacers. you need a gasket on the bottom then the spacer then the other gasket then the cylinder goes on. do you have any way to measure that spacer? I have one in the garage and if you can measure it with a caliper i could let you know if mine is the same.

 

[joedirt5724]

no dont have a caliper. So paper, spacer, paper. what about the high compression gasket? do paper, spacer, then high comp gasket

 

[scotj77]

the head gasket goes on just by it's self. if you are talking about the base gasket. that just elemenate one of the paper gaskets

 

[BlasterCrazy]

what number of comp do u want

 

[BlasterCrazy]

are u goin to get the motor ported for the 3mm crank

 

[joedirt5724]

Higher the better for comp. So just eliminate one paper and put the high comp in its place. sounds good thanks for the help.

 

[joedirt5724]

not at this point in time just got it so it can go together, runnin out of funds.

 

[scotj77]

I understand funds are runnin short but you have to do leakdown test on that thing before you run it. anytime you take any part of the top end apart ie reed cage head cylinder. you need to do a leakdown test. holeshotman sells them for 30 bucks in the forsale page. it is a must dude. an airleak will cause you to run lean and blow that new 240 kit all to sh*t.

 

[brandoz28]

30 bucks is cheap compared to all the gaskets, bore job, and a new piston that it could cost to NOT do it

 

[phragle]

simple... a plus 3mm stroke = 1.5mm up and 1.5 mm down therefor the gaskets ad spacer together must equal 1.5 mm. Break out the micrometer and you have your answer.

 

[Awk08]

and you sounded a little confused when you last posted about that high comp gasket, just use the paper, spacer, paper, throw that high comp gasket to the dogs
and like phragle said it should equal 1/2 the amount of the added stroke,
and definately do a leak test, we've been finding thise vito's and k&s green paper gaskets to leak, stock is better, but thicker, and will throw off your spacing
