Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Greetings:

I admire the skill with computers in evidence on Dac's post on this topic. I would add that another feature of a longer stroke engine is its increased displacement, which would account for its increased low-rev performance at least as much as the "leverage" factor.

I also agree with Dac's cautionary word about clearance at the bottom of the cylinder. Likewise, careful measurements and cylinder deck height adjustments are often necessary to ensure the piston does not crash into the head at the top of its stroke. All in all, it may be more trouble than the returns are worth, unless you relish a challenge.

whoa whoa whoa, i would LOVE to take credit for that, but its not my post...
Arnadanoob was the one who wrote that all up, i just posted it in the advance documents.

most shops on the mainland don't have a clue on how to bore a case and can't even get oversiezed pistons for a spree
