What these numbers mean
| Bore/stroke character | 1.083 — oversquare — bore exceeds stroke, which favours higher RPM and larger valves |
|---|
| Mean piston speed at 6,000 RPM | 3,750 ft/min — in the range typical of performance street engines |
|---|
| Rod ratio | 1.767 — long — less side loading on the cylinder wall, favours high RPM |
