We had a chance to do some assembly yesterday. We measured the outside radius at the big end of the rod and found it was .019” smaller than a Hot Rods + 4mm. Tarmo trenched the cases and the new + 6mm shaft fit like a glove. I did a mock up assembly and found that the cases needed additional clearance at the top. Very similar to what needs to be done to some of the Vitos + 3 mm strokers. I also found that the bottom of the piston skirt was making contact with the cases at the bottom of its stroke. I ended up cutting a few thousands off the skirt and measuring the clearance with some modeling clay. Once I was able to turn the crank with the cylinder on, I bolted a degree wheel on and checked my port timing. The exhaust port opens at 88 ATDC and the transfer ports open at 114 ATDC. Both very workable numbers. I marked the cylinder and started working on the ports. If Tarmo shows up today, we could finish this thing tonight.
