Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the primary benefit of installing the ARC6573 stroker crank?
A: The +0.175 inch stroke increases your engine's displacement, which significantly boosts torque and power. This is ideal for racers looking for better acceleration out of corners and improved top-end speed on straightaways.
Q: Is this crankshaft compatible with stock GX200 Clone internal components?
A: While it is designed for GX200 Clone engines, the increased stroke requires specific supporting components. You will need a compatible stroker connecting rod and a piston designed for this stroke length to ensure proper clearance and compression ratios.
Q: Do I need to perform any special balancing when installing this crank?
A: Yes. Because this is a high-performance billet component designed for high RPMs, we recommend checking your rotating assembly balance. Pairing this with high-quality, lightweight rods and pistons will help minimize vibrations and ensure engine longevity.
Q: Is this crankshaft suitable for stock class racing?
A: No. This is a modified/outlaw class component. The increased stroke changes the engine's displacement, which will make it ineligible for standard "stock" class racing regulations. Always check your local track's rulebook before installation.
Q: What maintenance is required for a billet stroker crank?
A: Regular oil changes are critical to keep the high-precision surfaces lubricated. Additionally, during engine rebuilds, inspect the crank for any signs of fatigue or wear and ensure that your rod bearings are properly fitted to the crank journal.
