pete roper Posted September 23, 2007 Posted September 23, 2007 Oh god. Do I need to upgrade? Will this never end?!!! Nah, the only reason I went from 2mm to 1.6mm plate is because the plate had almost doubled in cost over a period of a couple of months! The place I have make them had some 1.6mm plate lying about so I snapped it up 'cos it was a lot cheaper! Pete

D'you realize this'll launch a whole new round o' International conniption fits over new max and min marks on the dipstick, not to mention OIL VOLUME re-calculations with micro-pipettes, and a new monsoon blast o' windage over windage!!??

Oh lordy! I hadn't considered that! Hang on....... Interior of case measures about 200 by 180mm so a reduction in height will reduce the crankcase volume by about 14.4cc's Now allowing 1/3rd of that for gas volume that means that the amount of oil added should be reduced by 9.6cc's. I can't tell you how grateful I am for you pointing this out to me. Who knows what horrors would of befallen people otherwise Pete
