Rear Bearing Size....?

smoothing the sleeve will not help the motor...exterior sleeve work adds zero power to these motors........... I would not touch the crank either........ my bet is you would lose HP not gain HP with the mods your propose.........Do not cut the sleeve, its a urban myth that sleeve mods add power !!!!
