What Route To Take With New Motor??

[02blasterguy]

Ok, so I got my Brand New Cases today. So now I am ready to slowly start building my Frankenmotor

I want to do the ESR Bolt On 330 Kit, but was wondering if it would be worth it to throw in the Hot Rods +4mm Stroker as well??

I do mostly Tight Trail Riding with the occasional Dune Climbs. And want to keep it on Pump Gas.

What Crank / Rod should I use if I don't Stroke it? Should I get the Hot Rods OEM Replacement or just go Honda OEM all the way?

The esr 330 bolt on has very few overbores. I would either do a 310 or have your cases machined for the regular 330 kit. As far as a crank goes get oem short rod(cheaper{service honda $172} and no spacer plate required) or a long rod(more torque about $270 and needs a spacer plate). Keep your compression under 185 for pump gas. I personally wouldn't run a hot rods crank. I"ve heard to many horror storries to want to take a chance on one when there really isn't much price difference. Oem just seem to last longer and are more reliable.

go with the regular 330 kit, get a long rod and spacer plate. You'll like the added torque for trail riding. I ran mine at almost 200 psi on pump gas, ran awesome

So do the "Full" 330 instead of the Bolt On Kit?? If so, then what Porting should I go with?

And what needs to be done to the cases to make it fit? They say the cases need machined.

just so you know if you are ordering an oem crank from service honda the only one you can get is the longer rod 89 model.
