Tiny, good info for not stroking a 235. However the topic of longer rods is not synonymous with stroking. The crank dictates the stroke. The rod length dictates the geometry (angles) of the stroke as well as altering the time spent at top dead center resulting in changing stuff which I have no business pretending that I know anything about.
