I cant remember/misplaced the diesel spec sheet for bore and stroke, but
wondering if the 1.9 ha a longer stroke? Breaks down to 75cc per cylinder
increase. I don't want to be one of those hot rod diesel guys,just want to
make it the most efficient it can be with small power gains.

Ralph, my friend, you are trying to get blood out of a turnip.  Put up with
it for the mileage, or put a different engine in it for power.  Diesel
engines are hammered with high compression, add a turbo to this engine and
you'll be lucky to get 1000 miles out of it before it self destructs.

Just my $0.02.

'85 Westy, and I want more power too.
