going by, 6.5 cm wide....8.5 cm deep
do i have any bores left before its dangerous??
Please, talk mm...
Actual stroke of 1098 is 83.7mm, not 85.0.
Bore is 64.6mm stock, so it's probably only at +.020" now. You can still get +.020", +.040", +.060" stock sizes- and as Rob said Hypatec do a +.030".
Also, GR still has some nice flat top +.080" ones I think.
<edit>
Back in the `good old days' we used to offset bore them to 68.0mm and use Hepolite or Repco `Imp' pistons, but these are rocking horse dung now. Although I think JP Pistons still make them.
It gave ~1220cc.
Hardly worth the bother these days- just bore a 1275.....
