so would the +3 be a more balanced motor than the +4 with and advantage of the lower crankcase volume because of the stuffer blocks. i wonder...

no it would not be a more balanced motor anytime u add stroke u add torque and when u increase crankcase volumn u do lose some efficiency but not enough to offset what u are gaining in torque. plus a hot rods 4 mm does not have as big of a wide open area like a stock crank does basically it has a stuffer block built into the crank . let me put it this way across the board a 4 mm will kick a 3mm,s ass especially down low
 
no, and no, unless you do some modifications.



you could use the longer rod if you raise the jug


removing the bridge will require math to figure out if you can widen the ports that much

what math... and how do they do it in the la kit for a cr intake. im planning on modding mine for a cr reed cage so i wanted to open the intake a little more to adapt to the larger cage

so you would loose some efficiency with crankcase volume and sideload on piston??:(
 
yeah im modding for a cr 125 cage and ive gone through read everything you gave me brandoz and watched oconners diy porting and read up on it im confident in the ports that are already there i can see based on stock how much it really is opened up... ill only worry about fitting that cage in my intake... thanks man ill give ya some green for that
 
so you've read all the way through the graham-bell tuning book? that's a metric load of reading lol


so if you have read through all of that you have an understanding that taking the bridge out will affect the average time-area on the port
 
yeah i also realized from reading oconners posts in his own diy porting the precision that the intake ports need... they have specific dimensions that need to be contained in order for the intake time area... they are also the hardest ports to get right and the bridge plays in on the boost ports and how you cant raise the ports upwards only bring them down... i think im understanding it now
 
yeah im not taking it out the gains ill experience wont be worth the work and ring replacement... im just focusing on fighting the cr 125 cage... considering a rad valve cr 125 cage but dont know if its worth the dough... sorry bout the thread jacking there oconner
