If you take the cooling head off a MT12, you'll see that the entire sleeve sits on top of the crankcase and not flush. The rod is longer the same amount.
The only long stroke engines from NR are the RR12L3 (5) and the N12LL3 (5) and now the Plus 12-3
Long stroke means, that the stroke is longer than the bore
yeah. thanks. I was thinking it was a long stroke. Been a few years since I saw one. All I remembered was that it was longer something than the rest of the nova based engines at the time and the BRB set didnt fit in it.
