I would stick to a stock 1600 engine. The small increments in
displacemant that are cheap to do are not reliable, and the larger
displacements come at considerable cost.
If you want to go larger, avoid the 87mm pistons; stick to 88 or
90.5. These can be made reliable, but it is neither easy nor cheap.
Buy a catalog from Gene Berg for more info; the catalog also lists a
number of info sheets that they sell that are very good.
