With a slightly larger bore and the same stroke you may (in my very limited understanding) be able to turn higher RPM. I wish I could see all the pictures. I think I will try my hand at some of this casting. I want to make a small running engine to put in a R/C model. Probably not a scale Chevy 350 or 351 Windsor or anything but something out of the ordinary. I definitely look forward to checking this out thoroughly when I'm home and have unrestricted internet!!

BAH Humbug! Boost is definitely a replacement for displacement. Look at the new Ford Eco-boost. I'm not a Ford fan at all but I WANT that truck!!

Don't do it.
PM me and I'll fill you in on my recent experience with Ford products.

Hi
I need to cast another cylinder (not happy with that one)
I have my mill in bits now (Z screw nut is nearly stripped)
To many jobs not enough time

Well that is a bit sad, casting a new one but if you're not happy it's the only way to go.
However it is good for MetalworkingFun we get a casting video, don't we please

sorry about the Z Axis nut, was just wondering hadn't seen anything posted for a while on it and I really want to see this engine finished, I hope to do a steam engine one day. I want one that I can actually use.
As far as casting goes I fired my furnace up today after about 4 months of the state being under a burn ban, sorry no video. poured a new rammer that I think is going to be way too heavy.
