I have heard that if you do a 2.3 strocker that you blown head gaskets more.
And can you put your miles down on how long you have had the strocker kit for.
If you do click yes
If you haven't click no

THanks

 

My Stro"CK"er I have had for 5K miles, AMS of course , and have NO trouble with blowing the gaskets, I have a lot of fun BLOWING away the competition though!!

 

Over 7000 miles now on mine and no problems. Had ARP headstuds retorqued just in case about 1.5K ago, but torque was fine. I've run 27 psi max, but plan on hitting 30 psi this week.

 

i had an ams and seized it. but it wasn't ams fault! my oil pump failed after 450 miles. now i have the pruven performance stroker and its been good for almost 2000 miles.

 

I to have a Pruven Performance Stroker.

 

Another false rumor started by some moron... dont listen to them man, 2.3Ls are great.

 

<-does not have a stroker and never will have.

There is perhaps some truth in that though. But the problem is probably not the kit but the install and the tune. I mean there's a whole bunch of things that can go wrong putting all those bits in and it's not like a drop-in filter or something.

 

4800 magnus 2.3L with with an ivey tune no problems at all.

 

I was told that buy a big named shop in the chicagoland area but, it was not AMS....
They have a couple of fast DSM/EVO's also........

This is why i started a poll to see how everyone is doing with there kit. Its really looking like i will do a strocker kit foshow.

 

If your out there go AMS , don't make the mistake of going else where.

 

If you build it right it shouldnt blow

 

AMS built, 7000 miles and feels stronger every day!

 

Thats what i like to hear durability.

 

go with the 2.3 there is no logical reason for one to blow head gaskets more than the other

 

7k miles installed by my dealer, no issues......
