Hi,
I am not sure that I want to go that far 82mm is a lot more then I would use
if I did a separate order. 80mm is more likely.
A better head design could however be used with the bigger bore, my engine
suffer from a bit to much valve shrouding. That extra mm on the radius would
be great for this.
An other thing that comes to mind is the gear box, bigger bore give more
torque in the entire range. I have problem keeping the torque down on low
rpm as it is. I don't think that 300+ft/lbs is a good idea on these
gearboxes. I'd rather build the engine to handle more rpm.
I haven't checked the price on the connecting rods yet, I will need these
too for my new engine.
