I figure that’s why they likely looked through a few blocks to find one that could handle an uncoventional bore size.

The pics of LSM lightened blocks I have seen were kind of scary with how much and where they took out the iron.
Chris in the article referred to a scarcity of blocks at the time.

I'd be surprised...I think Chris would take ring seal over bore size.

He was also witness to Mike Leech adding stroke to increase power without losing available RPM.

Just a guess though.

The oil used likely has the viscosity of water.
