What happened to Tunacan.net?

A quick google search found it, looks like Tuna changed the address, likely he forgot to renew the domain and it got scooped. Instead of paying the extortion to get it back he just registered a new name. That or he piggybacked it on the old ladies domain to save coin.

Huh. Half his links look like they are down. He had a handy chart of crank size and piston diameter and what displacement they made. Anyone have a copy of it?

Zach, search google, there are three or four places that tried to coy his site, only one of them works right...can't recall which one.

Might have been inside shop talk forums....

For the next time I am looking for it.

That one isn't MassIVe enough. Here's mine
Blue are stock displacements, orange are my favorite classic combos and bold red are my current displacements.

Are there any cooling fins on the 112 mm cylinders?
Oh, please post a pic of those next to some stock stuff......it would be cool to see.

Holy crap! 112x80? What kind of dyno numbers are you seeing? Is this an engine that is supposed to last longer than 20,000 miles?

Cool tables!

What is the largest crank that can be used that doesn't require additional work in the case for clearance? Is it anything over 71MM?

With the proper machining and practices bigger doesn't mean shorter life. To fit a bore larger than 107mm you must alter the bore centerlines of the case. This is not easy to do.

The 112mm cylinders are thicker than a 103mm and have the deepest cooling fins radially, with just as many fins per inch as any other LN cylinder.

Anything is possible, it just gets much, much harder to create an efficient engine when it gets bigger and bigger. The only way to feed an engine like this is with Porkies heads, some twisted wedge action and splayed valves.

I was going to ask what the heads look like. Very cool.
