I know.. that's why I built the 402 and not something bigger (ie, longer stroke)
piston rock at BDC is a bad thing. BUT, with the new Darton sleeves it's now really a problem since the cylinders can be made a bit longer. I'm going to try and stay with a 4" stroke, hopefully the bore size will cooperate..
