That's what I wanted but didn't know was available.

I've learned to both say less, and advertise less. Doing so just gives the copycats a heads up about what to steal next.
With these LN cylinders and the process that we've developed that uses them, we at least don't have to worry about this being stolen, since it's proprietary for Flat 6 Innovations only. Further, because we decided to patent the unique process of cylinder fitment.
I had fun developing this combo, because its so radically different from what anyone else does with these engines. From the custom crankshaft, to the odd connecting rod length, to the pistons, none of this one is off the shelf and can't be bought by a copycat. This engine is also very difficult to assemble, since none of the components are in their original locations at the times when they are typically assembled. Another set of special tools had to be developed and built to assemble the engine, but only one set exists :-)
This combo isn't for everyone, but knowing what Richard likes, this was the ONLY way to go!
With this bore combination, things get started at 3.3 liters, but 3.6 is the most common combination thus far, and I have a 3.9 and 4.2 combo as well that works from this bore size.. The 4.2 is only available for 3 chain engines, since my R51 head profile is a must, and can only be applied to a 3 chain cylinder head.
And if I ever decide to turn the volume up, I can go 1.2mm larger with the bore than what it is now, but the copycats will have probably given up by then (probably not). Its already developed, and proven, just sitting there in reserve.
BTW- Anyone who insists on Mobil 1, well you'll not find a single quart of that stuff anywhere at either of my facilities. We only utilize the oil that we've developed, and its not a recommendation, its a mandate thats agreed upon before I collect the first dollar from a buyer.
