Potential NF Piston Option??? Engine Experts Help.

[ Converted text/html to text/plain ]

Mike,

This is a concern, and one of the reasons I would like to get new pistons.

I sent an email to the place you suggested, Eurospecsport (they don't have a
phone number in the web site).

They have one in the catalog that would fit my application, bringing the CR=
 to
12.1:1.

However, there is something that puzzles me, and I asked them.

How do they increase the stroke to 92.8 without changing the rod length or
crankshaft?

Thanks for pointing me to their direction,

Carlos.
