Boring a 3a

[rapieper at yahoo.com (Ron Pieper)]

Rod ratio is a wonderful thing but there's no replacement for displacement.  I played with this a
year or so ago - I decided the best path would be to find the flat-topped pistons with the highest
pin height and use the longest rod I could find - IIRC this will require some custom machining
and/or parts including very expensive rods and pistons.  Oh well...I built what I had in the end
(2.0L 16V).
