58mm is the standard stroke. 60mm will give you a 230cc, but you will need to let the tuner know which stroke you intend to use, and the ports can be adjusted accordingly.

Get whosoever is doing the above to match it to whichever one you buy .... and ideally supply correct gaskets etc You'd be poundwise to do this with an ebay kit anyway plus check piston / barrel tolerance and compression ratios etc. The choice of crank is not your main concern IMHO

i will do maybe sumtime tho as ive got to get my mk1 t5 done first / there is a fella on here called coaster who has done one i spoke to him about it ages ago not quite sure how he has got on with it yet maybe he can if he reads this fill us in on how he got on

just stick with the mec crank and you wont go far wrong , as for mick abbey give him a call as the ports and port timings will need to work to make it good , i think you will be suprised by the power /results mick gets .........................

thanks for your advise , i no i need to have the ports done , was just after some advise on which crank to use 58 or 60 now i no it all depends on the type of tune
