1100 cranks are getting scarcer. Make sure you crack test them when buying, they are more prone to crack than 998 ones.
You can offset bore to 68mm, this will give 1108cc with a 998 crank or ~1220cc with an 1100 one. If using GR's 68mm pistons you deck the block about .140" if running a 998 crank.
A 1275 head gasket is used but smallbore heads need some water holes moved to clear the fire rings in it. See Graham's website.

he probly meant the same cost?

1100 cranks are a bit harder to find cheap "ready to fit"
but definitely instant more torque & capacity, "fairly cheaply"
small bores we "usually" set-up at 9.5-ish:1 CR depending (mainly on cam choice of course)
please don`t run "polished" inlet ports, , , polish the cmbstn chamber if you want to polish something
or even the exhaust ports if you must, but leave the inlets in a coarse emery finish.

As I said $300 if it needs a regrind.
9.5 ish... 10:1 sounds ish enough lol

Went with Graham Russell 60thou flat tops, having an 1100 crank reg round that I located in Adelaide.
Hopefully be putting it all together in the coming months :-).
Now that I have split the motor, who has some tips on checking gearbox ( remote), to see if it will not jump out of any gears? All moves freely and teeth all good.
Cheers,
Steve

Start a new thread on the gearbox. And add any details on noises or crunching.

That's an old 3 synchro, new parts are getting harder to find now.
I'd bung a 22G1128 (Mini K etc) 4 synchro remote box in, gear ratios are a bit better , synchro on 1st and it's a stronger box. All the gears are same as in an early rodchange (except reverse).
