Hello Rick,

Explain more what you are wanting this engine to do and a better
answer can
be given.

peak RPM, steady state RPM, durability, weight of vehicle, towing?,
compression, quench height, fuel type, size of your wallet, etc.

Regards

Nicholas

yeah, wallet size is the most important statistic of all-

has
them currently available and I have a few other leads to research but
any
real experience would be appreciated. Wiseco said they'd make a set for
a
good price and they'd most certainly be lighter than stock which is 595
grams. If I'm getting custom pistons made anyway maybe I'll look into
stroking the crank and some longer rods?? I'm looking for all my options.
Does that weight loss stuff work on Daks?? If I could lose 25 to 30 lbs in
engine weight that would be fine with me.
