Default Stroker Motor Question

I have heard conflicting things about stroker kits for the integra LS engines. I have heard that it is a waste of money and I have also heard that it is worth it. Can anyone clear this up? Is it worth it to buy a stroker kit? What are the disadvantages? Any help would be appreciated.

Also, how much more do the H22 engines weigh compared with the integra LS engines? I heard that they weigh a lot more.

Thanks.

Default 96 LS Integra Non-V-tec head to block problem

Ok guys, any help here.

I have a striped block 3 bolts that go from the head to the block were over torque and know spin freely, should I heli coil my block, or should I rethread to a bigger size and ad a bigger bolt, because Some one for Auto Zone told me that a heli coil will not work, I would have to re-thread to a bigger size and ad a bigger bolt, what is the best thing to do.

Other question I had.
What is the size of the original bolt, type of medal, and thread size?

Stroker kits are more beneficial in a NA engine than turbo IMO. They increase torque by bumping the displacement by increasing the stroke of the piston, hence the name. They're pretty spendy for a good one.

A full H22 swap weighs 34 pounds more than a comparable B-Series swap. The myth that they are big heavy ass motors is a misconception.

BTW the H22 swap make alot of power and are not nearly as bad as are made out to be. Hence people keep doing them.

Increased displacement, which in turn increases torque. But it hinders the revvability of the motor due to the worsened rod to stroke ratio.

Here is a good article covering increasing displacement/ changing rod, stroke ratio.
