See post below giving variants on stroke & rod length etc

http://scooterotica.org/tempforum/viewt ... p?f=5&t=28

Typical Imola 58mm stroke 107mm Conrod
But 110mm rod with relevent packer to adjust timings can be used if need be
If its made of Metal Fettle it !!

You can also get the Imola kit to suit a 58 x 116 crank, that's what's in mine.
I bought it as a complete engine with the Imola fitted. It ran great until I holed the piston, upon breaking it down I found it had a TV crank and flywheel, so when I rebuilt it I decided to use a new 58 x 116 GP crank with piston to suit.
