I've calculated that if I shorten the stroke of a 998 crank by 40thou with a 20thou overbore I'll end up with 1000cc.

Anyone know if this is possible wit hthe 998 crank?

It's possible, but you would have to reduce the crank pin diameter by at least 80 thou which would weaken it. Conrods and bearings are the next problem.

Are you struggling to stay within the regs with a 20 thou overbore then?

I'm not bothered about the few extra cc of a 20thou overbore. Although not strictly in the regs it's a stndard overbore and you can't buy 998 blocks anymore, so what can you do?

I have a block that I've had decked (and is +20) and was hoping that a shorter stroke would mean that I would have to take less off the pistons as they'll stick out. But I wonderd if it was possible to get to 1000cc when doing it. If not then I won't bother.

Calver made the comment yesterday that the P20950 pistons could be dished (as you have done already).

I would imagine that it would be OK to machine 1-2mm off the tops. How much has the block been decked?

We need to cut one in half really.

The other option would be to deck it some more and use some of the 1098 Hypatec pistons that Vegard sourced from Aus. But they do have a slot in the skirt.

I can't remember how much it got decked now, no more than 20 thou iirc

Have you still got those dished 20950s?

I could do with a measurement of the top ring land.

Just need to check there is enough metal to cut valve reliefs for my K100.

Don't tell me things like that.

Paul, I've half moved at the moment, so the pistons I have that can be measured are at my old house in Macclesfield. I'll be back there on Monday, so I'll give them a measure and PM you.

If you use an 850 crank and +0.100" P20950 pistons you get 966cc.

67.1mm bore

68.2mm stroke

Any good?

I guessed that is what you where thinking when I saw the wanted add. My only concern would be how strong the crank is, IIRC the 850 crank is not know for it's strength.

Although if you go the 850 route what about IMP pistons? I think +10 IMP pistons with an 850 crank gives you 999cc.

Rog and myself looked into this about a year ago, but I can't remember if we posted anything or just talked about it.

Here's some nice reading for you:

Ironically the first post by Paul is probably the most usefull.

How weird. I had forgotten all about that post.

That bit from Mini1071s was 2 1/2 years ago and in response to my very first post. Hence, it was all double dutch at the time.

Vizard states that the later 850 cranks were good for 9000rpm if properly prepared.

Imp pistons have a very low compresion height. I think that they would end up about 1/2" down the bore.

Isn't it the other way around? If you are reducing your stroke by 040. you'll need to reduce the crank diameter by half of this. IF, the crank doesn't need a regrind anyway.

040 bearings are OK to get hold of. Ask Richy.

Your right as usual, but in this case only half right!

I was wrong in that to reduce the stroke 40 thou, you need to reduce the throw by 20 thou.

But you still need to grind the pin 40 thou thinner to move the centre 20 thou.

Yes. I had to think quite a while on this. Interesting. :)

When it coems to strength I guess you'd be OK, as there are hundreds of highly tuned 1430s out there with 020 B-ends. They survive it seems.

1st to provide proof of a running Bimmy Conversion!

Brisbane ,Australia

I`ve been running my 1510cc engine @ over 100hp for well into 8 &1/2 -nearly 9 years now on a .080 under crank

But in saying that, i`m not a big fan of the 850 cranks strength (or lack therof) *smiley*

Why not grab a sth african large journal 1071 crank, & de-stroke that??? fit it into a 1275 block with long rods???? That`s the way i`d do it if you want to keep under 1000cc... dam strong & rev like a rotary & still maintain a decent block deck thickness

I agree. Why haven't you gone the 970 route instead Wil? Everything will be stronger, make more power etc.. *wink*

Mainly because I have a sitload of 998 engines and no 970s. Bottom end strength isn't a problem either, I have the same crank from my first 998 turbo machined 8 years ago.

Also, I don't need any more revs, they'd be great for a circuit racer, but not needed for the hills. 7k gets me to 105 mph, and I only ever get there at avon park.
