Hi Volks,
    I got a note back from people with the high performance wasserboxer add.
They increase the  bore from 94  to 96.5 mm with oversized pistons and
cylinders. They install a stroker 76mm ?? stroker crank.  I think the
standard crank is also 76mm but bentley feels this is information that most
of us will never care about and never put it in the bentley bible. Then
again maybe in my advancing  age I am not competent enough to find it.
Please someone tell me the stroke of our beloved wasserboxer is in there
chapter and verse and I am inept. The crank is counter weighted and balanced
with the rods and pistons.  Seems like a good way to add more power.
Darrell

Ps. Following is the note from the high performance wasserboxer people , I
would normally never post a private message to the list  but feel this is
not a problem here.
