It's in the thread @whataboutbob posted and the reason it had a custom stroker kit. The TLDR is that the rod to stroke ratio is already poor. Stroking it makes it worse. The farther out on the crank you move the rod, the more angle the rod goes through as it runs through it's motion. The higher angles are hard on everything.
