I agree partially with Keith on this, usually you get sleeves and pistons designed to be able to handle the heat generated from ICE's granted that you don't get the slip in thin walled type I.E. 87mm, 88mm. I do agree that with a longer stroke, more torque gets generated and of course the longer the stroke the more expensive the crank is. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Keith Park" <topnotch@nycap.rr.com> To: <type3@vwtype3.org> Sent: Thursday, February 19, 2004 5:55 PM Subject: Re: [T3] Capacity of FI > It sure does!
