Show me where buku amounts of people are using bigger than 84.5mm bore and i will believe you. Also people are making astronimcal power on 84.5 so why risk messing things up by going bigger?
I think you are wrong. You probably know more then me about hondas, but their not my passion. Their scott's aka 0psi's. I dont see you running around with a mid to high 12 all motor civic coupe setup. He must be doing something wrong.
Recommended doesn't mean shit. Its not recommended for a 4 cylinder to be built over 2.5l to bad.. I know lot of engine builders and engines being built to 3.10 liters and their not counter balanced either. They have lasted over 20,000 miles so far. Its all in the eye of the beileiver and how deep your pockets are.
