Has anybody actually tried this? A quick look suggests that it can be done, but I'll have to make accurate measurements to see if the transfer cutaway can actually be modded without causing problems.
I mod the cut-outs all the time, not a big deal.[/quote]

REALLY ? . . . Just cutting the liners REALLY won't do the trick

I'll let this post run a while and let the experts tell me why it can't be done

Actually, I am in jet-lagged "snitty" mode - as I am not an engineer, please tell me how a liner that is a totally different PLACE in the alloy casting to all other models can be ported to the same spec as the earlier models
some ports need lowering and others need raising (as far as I remember . . the again Alsheimers DOES run the the family
) So you either cut iron or weld alloy
And it REALLY isn't worth that effort, I have done the Dyno rolling road tests and the final output is the same . . . It's just the WAY that the power is delivered that makes the difference - - - add a few more BHP with a good port job and you will be just as well off

I was just talking about the transfer cut aways. The later "short" cut outs are easily modded to earlier cut out spec. It is actually not super important, as it's really the piston that controls the transfer flow.
