I started to mod the No2 Silver Swallow today and thought I would start with a 32 mm long conrod first , the stock rod is 21 mm long

Im going to build the rest of the engine around this rod , it should be done on Monday

You are going to build a new engine with a rod modified to half as long again?

I am sure that it is possible but tell me how you are going to get the primary compression ratio back to anything near 1.6:1?

You are bound to increase the volume below piston by a relatively huge amount by raising the piston crown's hieght.
And how would you space the liner up by 11mm, that is a massive amount for such a small engine!

Ive got the cyl spacer half made, that is the bit that fits the crankcase , and the rod should come on mon , give me some time it might come together
