If a 1395 is good then a 460 should be better

If I can only get the connecting rod through the 1166 block.

I'm thinking I can cut the sleeves between 1&2, 3&4 and weld them together to make a really big 2 cylinder engine.

Should work sence they are heavy duty sleeves.

I figure sence I got a Ford soleniod to work, then 460 pistons I had laying around shouldn't be much of a problem.... right.

I have seen a motorcycle engine , in a mag. with oval pistons i think it was a honda real big ccs This was in the 1980's

I think we could fit those in there without too much trouble. Enough beer and man can achieve anything.

Quit mssing with baby stuff Jake use the airplane pistons that Vance used in the pro stock V ROD

[Mr. Jiggles]

Those bearings on the con rod have a lot of rust on them. Be sure to apply a dab of grease before the install.

That would be the NR750. Honda went to oval pistons to get around a rule limiting bikes to 4 cylinders (in world endurance racing at the time). The oval piston motor is essentially a V-8 with the cylinder wall removed between pairs of cylinders to create a V-4. It gives the valve area of an 8 and only a bit higher frictional losses than the 4 and makes significantly more power than the 4 can. At the expense of extra complexity and the challenge of sealing oval piston rings adequately.

Hey rusty Fords run faster, at least mine do.

Gimme a Hammer.....I'll MAKE it fit! :twisted:

and waste a perfectly good ashtray????
nah man chuck the connrod to your dog as a toy.
contact your pharmacist and renew your ritalin prescription.

and since you won't be riding, can i have your bike parts (the ones that haven't been forced/field to fit)?

It was a Honda v4 that was like only a 750 I think. I'm still looking for it in the mags. I want to say it was mid to late 80's. They basicly took a v8 and joined the cylinders to make an oval piston v4. It was like 75 grand. NSR 750 ???
