I have a pretty good idea where he read it. One of our competitors calls it "destroking." I just laughed and didn't bother to correct him, now I can tell who is calling me after they have spoken to this competitor because they ask for a "destroked" crank. hehe. What I am sure he means is that he wants the journals turned down so he can use a 3S sized rod.

BTW as of early last year all of our 3S strokers are built with .020 (aka .5mm) oversized pistons. We also do not use CP pistons. We worked with Wiseco to design our own piston for our strokers.
