(Sorry to have posted this twice.
IT was buried deep inside the ethanol hijack so I thought it might get some response as a new thread)
Looking at the ECI website, I only see it mentioned that the stroke has been increased by 0.25" on a 320.
Has anyone seen a list of what else has changed?
Same cylinders but different piston (wrist pin moved)?
Same cylinders and pistons but cylinder spaced out .125 inch?
Same rods?
No other changes because piston can easily travel another 1/8" up the bore with no interferences?
These are speculations because I have no experience with the lycoming or its clones.
Reground 320 crank or completely new?
Obviously, depending on what they did, one might be able to easily rebuild a 320 into a 340 (or not).
