no, only 1100. A 1200 Sport/Norge/Breva could possibly fit, or you could upgrade the internals to achieve the same, though others might know what and how easy it might be. I just have a 2V 1200 Sport...

Well Pat, on this here forum, I have a lowly 2V 1200 Sport, like yourself. Others here have "GRiSOs", so only "just" a humble 2v 1200.

A friend has 1200 barrels on his 1100 GRiSO, everything trimmed to fit.

What did he do? Deck the tops of the barrels by whatever the stroke difference is? Didn't it significantly change the compression ratio? I suppose it would of lowered it?

Yes, cut the top. He's at 10.5 compression. 1200 heads w/sunk valves, pistons trimmed on top. It also has a cam I put in at the beginning, some years ago. The 1100 motor had high flowing Mike Rich heads that he'll put back on sometime. Quite the grenade, already touched a piston once. Been apart like 5 times. Some folks just got to tinker.
BUT it really hauls ass.

10.5 is bloody high for that combustion chamber but the second plug probably helps combat detonation.

Yeah, the old 2V motor is easy to tinker with.

He's looking for a gearset that will retard cam a bit. He's at the max for crankcase pressure, got an extra hose from dipstick hole.

Does the Sport have the breather off the side of the timing chest? I can't remember? If it does sticking something like an Ag-bike exhaust spark arrestor in it will help with oil expulsion. It's a common mod with hard used Bellagios. Some sort of windage tray would probably help too.

Yes it has that port on the timing chest. Still moves a lot of vapour though, so maybe could do a bit better. I found out how much in actuality one year heading to QLD with Mal. Still trying to clean the oil up...

Was a split collector box, the main spigot that connects to the crankcase vent - folded in on itself on the casting line (two piece plastic welded together). Still stinks when I pull into my garage so I might (then again I might not) do something about it one day, kinda like what Mark did on his embiggenment exercise.
