Further to my last post wrt removing 2 cylinders...
Rebalancing cranks and destroking... are all expensive engineering feats and may work very well, but then as one of you guys mentioned why not simply replace the engine with a smaller more efficient one. Well all that costs money.
My whole aim here is to do a simple mod that costs me zip!
I have seriously spent zero dollars thus far doing this mod and am looking to reuse all gaskets... even the head gasket - I've done it a couple of times before with fairly good results. I may be dreaming but if this works it'd be a great mod for someone like me who does 50+ kms per day on nice flat low speed highways. And if not... well, I like playing around with engines and what-not and besides it keeps me out of the Bingo halls LOL
I'll keep you posted.
