How many have stroker clearanced their block themselves ?
How many have stroker clearanced their own block? How difficult is this to do? What tools are required ? Will you need to bore the block afterwards, or can you clearance a block and keep the same bore size?

It's an easy process...just takes a little time to mock it up and see where the interference is. All you need is a die grinder and a carbide burr to cut iron with. Usually not that much to remove..just in a few spots to clear rods.
You can do it after all the machine work is done. A lot depends on what rotating assy you're using.

the grinding bits/cuttings get into everything ... they do, they will
so do it w/ a set of old sacrificial bearings & an old piston
& block, crank etc will need comprehensive cleaning/wash afterward
yes you can keep same bore; not an issue

You don't need to remove all that much really, so very minimal chance of issues. Just measure twice, cut once!
Jackson is right...will need to do LOTS of cleaning afterwards.
