Does anybody have numbers for the typical weight of stock pistons as well as the usual aftermarket players?
The reason that I ask is that I was doing some calculations and I determined that the single biggest effect from a stroked motor is that the peak piston acceleration of a stroker-motor is rougly 18% greater than that of a normal 2.0L motor. Actually it's 17.9% for a 2.3L and 16.9% for a long-rod 2.4L. So, if you were thinking of doing a stroker with OEM rods, you'd have to figure a lower power tolerance due to the greater force necessary to maintain reciprocation. But, if you knew for instance that your aftermarket pistons weighed roughly 20% less than OEM, then it'd be a was (F=ma). So, that's my question...what do OEM pistons weigh?
