There
are easier, more reliable ways to get an L18 out to 2 litres. 1999cc in
fact, just inside the 2L class. Stroke the crank as well as increase the
bore for a balanced system that won't suffer from cylinder wall flex. i
have some figures here somewhere (can't remember them) and will let you know if
you want
L18's can be taken out to almost 2 litres with
crankshaft mods and a big bore.
If you go even further with the crankshaft mods
you can get an L18 block out to 2.15 litres. This mod requires a
profiled plate on top of the block (like a decompression plate) and
sleeves in the enlarged bores to allow the pistons to move up into the
plate area. The rod angles get pretty wild and you need to grind relieves
into the inside of the block to allow the rod bolts sufficient
clearance. Les Collins can build one of these. It will go hard
for a reasonable time and costs around $12000. Is this in your
price range?

Subject: How Much?
Hey list, how much is the biggest anyone has
bored the L18 'W' block out to? I'm not sure who it was but one of you guys
was talking about a factory rally motor based on the L18, that was out to
1900cc?. This week the machining starts, so please reply
ASAP.
Cheers in
advance
