hmm
let me say one thing to end this little arguemtn.
Oversquare overshamer... don't mean dick if the engine is balanced properly.
Yeah, but isn't it alot less stress on the rods and crank if you don't have so much of a stroke? I don't hear much of 1j and 2j guys having rod knock problems. I'm just looking for a reliable combo. I'm not looking to spin it to the moon, but if can do it reliably and make power up there..... why not?
EDIT: Maybe I'm getting into rod ratio and angularity. Two things I know little about. What's the rule of thumb, lower rod ratio (increased rod angle) accelerates wear to cylinder walls, pistons, and piston rings?
Do 7m's already have a rod ratio or angularity we should be worried about? If you increase it then your motor will eat itself up a little quicker.
