by taking 3mm (with 1mm gasket so 2mm) off the bottom of the cylinder

raise exhaust by 4.8mm gets 170.29

raise trans by 1.2mm gets 125.07

clean bottom of inlet and a bit of a rub with sum emery tape on inlet side of the piston gets 145.09.

will take the cylinder to work and machine it down. hope i have done me sums right :lol:

^... true but it'll then come on to what rev range he wants to run it at and whether the exhaust will allow it to get to the revs at which the porting works, otherwise it will be constantly out of the powerband :(
