Re: 20V for ur-Q?

--------------------------- Begin X.400 Bodypart 1 --------------------------
  Custom pistons from Arias will support the increased displacement to 2.4
  Liters while maintaining the stock 7.6:1 compression using a bored '83
  ur-Q block. I don't know about the head gasket at this point. I will
  report back with details and progress reports as the project progresses.
  This is a big week though, I get to review the plans and cost estimates
  and pay BIG $$$ to get the pistons into manufacturing and the head work
  underway.....

Where are you going to get 84mm pistons and big bore head gasket for same?
Can the gasket from the 2.31 (82.5mm) be modified to work? Are you going to
use a later block or push the 2.1?
