Dave:
so you're saying longer rods aren't always better? That certainly goes
contrary to many of the "spam" ads I'm getting these days!! (LOL) --what,
you mean the rest of you aren't getting these ads?!! oh. never mind.
Seriously, that dissertation (on rod length/ stroke ratio)is one for my
Landspeed Notebook. Best info I've found on the subject (and, I assure you,
this is the kind of info that I-- and many others on the list-- are
constantly searching for). I have several engine design texts, and none of
them have anything this explicit on the effects of rod length (or
length/stroke ratio). Keep it going-- I'm looking forward to this same kind
of thing on racing cam design/ selection!!!

p.s. in my class, 11,200 RPM doesn't even work STOCK valvegear very hard.
One mfg has a production model (for next year) running 15k.
