---------------- Hi Volks, I got a note back from people with the high performance wasserboxer add. They increase the bore from 94 to 96.5 mm with oversized pistons and cylinders. They install a stroker 76mm ?? stroker crank. I think the standard crank is also 76mm but bentley feels this is information that most of us will never care about and never put it in the bentley bible. Then again maybe in my advancing age I am not competent enough to find it. Please someone tell me the stroke of our beloved wasserboxer is in there chapter and verse and I am inept. The crank is counter weighted and balanced with the rods and pistons. Seems like a good way to add more power. Darrell

Ps. Following is the note from the high performance wasserboxer people , I would normally never post a private message to the list but feel this is not a problem here.
