Hmmm.... Interesting...cause the 340 has a bore/stroke of 4.04/3.31.. Why
would someone add a 1/4in sleeve??? Again my point adding that much stroke
without raising the head you're gonna have a piston hitting the head or the
piston falling out of the cylinder. A 360 has a B/S of 4.00/3.58 and the 360
was designed with a longer stroke.
