Default RE: Engine boring question

ORIGINAL: Richs MT2

i read some article about one guy in the coubtry who "resizes" piston sleevs crushes them or something.
if you really had to do it i think researching the O.D. of your current piston sleeve and try to match it to another piston and sleeve from a larger displacement engine. i might look into this just out of curiousity i think you would probably end up boring the engine casing to fit and you would definetley have to take into consideration connecting rod travel as wel as stroke.
But if you replace it with one you matched (same size) where does the increase come from? The answer is the higher displacement engine had a longer stroke, but since you aren't moving the crank shaft that volume doesn't move either.

People, why waste your time on this fantasy, BUY A MOTOR THEY ARE CHEAP.... You can get a Wasp 18 shipped to ya for 1 bill....
