Brad,
I don't have the specs on the 2.1, but for the 1889 cc they used the stock 77.98
mm steel L18SSSW crank and a bore of 87.8 mm, weird size i know but i just
looked it up to be sure, you can still get good old Hastings molly rings for
them. The 1889 revs like crazy although it sounds like its going to explode over
6k (but it never has), they make reasonable hp for they're day, although most
1.8L EFI twin cams are just as powerful these days so we've got to peddle
pretty hard to keep up in a straight line, still no contest in the twisties
though.
