Real world clearancing and block and modification for stroker kits. There’s only two ways to get more cubes – bigger bore and longer stroke – so engine builders use both to get the performance they want from the available components.

Timing chains and gears are engine parts that are usually replaced when an engine is rebuilt. Over time, gear teeth wear and chains stretch. This can cause noise and retarded valve timing.

Engine oil has sometimes been compared to a cake mix. The base oil is like the flour and the additives are the spices. How much is used of each varies by the type of cake and its intended use. Birthday cakes don’t really work for weddings
