Thanks to all who consulted on my issue as to whether or not to do a straight
install of 1000CC Cylinders/pistons in my elDorado. The consensus seems to be
that to do it right some machining may have to be done to make the cylinders
fit and that the added weight of the pistons may require re-balancing the
crankshaft to avoid an out-of-balance condition with bad vibrations.
So, when I get the time and $ I will probably resleeve the existing
cylinders, as I believe they are chrome plated and can't be rebored, find
some new pistons and keep the displacement at 850ccs.
Thanks for saving me from what may have been a frustrating experience.
