RE: Engine Choice.
Yeah but I didn't mean porting too. Polishing the inside of your crank shaft and the outside of the ports on your sleeve will let fuel and air flow a lot easier giving you a more efficient running engine.
You can also port your engine which requires some grinding on the outside of the sleeve but it mainly redirects the fuel flow into the cylinder and it can change timing. I don't sujest doing that untill you understand how these engines work first.
