It looks like a pretty good deal, but I can't help wondering about why the 78.8 
mm stroke. It makes me wonder if there was a problem with the forging/casting 
such that it just wouldn't clean up at 79, which would have taken you ALL the 
way from 2028 to 2033. The extra 0.1 mm of radius can't make any difference on 
the clearance to the case.
