Hey Fellow Guzzi Mavens,
I wanna get big.... REALY BIG...
What's the max bore you've experienced on a round fin? I'm lookin to 95mm.
This engine will run for about 2 minutes at a time. WOT.
Anybody have experince with 95mm bore jobs on say... a 76 Lemans or some other "young" round fin?
Crank magnaflux, good crank bearings, Carrillo rods, custom pistons, ringed cylinder tops for copper gaskets, higher grade studs and all that jazz.
Among my concerns, besides paying for all this nonsense :whistle: , are:
Any meat left between the stud hole and piston hole
I haven't looked yet but will there be any skirt left
Sleeve vs. Nikasil
Will these things withstand 12:1 compression
and so forth.
Whatcha think?
Alex
