Steve, where abouts are you measuring from?

if its the piston itself or the inside of the barrel your sweet, but the hole in the case/heads and outside of the barrels is gonna be bigger

x2....the rest above are accurate.

Although 90.5 is commonly stated as 1776.

It actually calculates out to 1775.35, so 1775 is technically closest, rounding up though is an automotive necessity, hey, the manufacturers do it in a big way, so i like to go with 1776.😂
