Not too computer literate, but here goes. Did you notice the new sleeves protrude into the case? Stroked to 120mm (original 80), to achieve 2:1 rod – stroke ratio, torque oriented. Pistons ex GM comodore V6, 9:1 compression ratio!!
Yeah the Yamaha pots on 1950cc V twin with rods would be sweet as!

That’s cool. What about using Harley jugs with push-rod valve train for simplicity? Ya, I know…armchair quarterback!

p.s. Check out Verner, HCI or Rotec if u like the round sound.

Kudos to Mr. Sutton! Hopefully we’ll see a follow up on the finished product.

8 litre engine..Where does the extra 2.6 litres come from if it has 9 x 600cc cylinders?
