More displacement equals more torque.

With a slightly larger bore and the same stroke you may (in my very limited understanding) be able to turn higher RPM. I wish I could see all the pictures. I think I will try my hand at some of this casting. I want to make a small running engine to put in a R/C model. Probably not a scale Chevy 350 or 351 Windsor or anything but something out of the ordinary. I definitely look forward to checking this out thoroughly when I'm home and have unrestricted internet!!

sorry about the Z Axis nut, was just wondering hadn't seen anything posted for a while on it and I really want to see this engine finished, I hope to do a steam engine one day. I want one that I can actually use.
As far as casting goes I fired my furnace up today after about 4 months of the state being under a burn ban, sorry no video. poured a new rammer that I think is going to be way too heavy.
