110 mph in 4th OD is only 4500 rpm. Not what I call =E2=80=9Ccrank shatter=
ing rpm=E2=80=9D. A stock TR3 won=E2=80=99t usually run that fast of cours=
e, but 87mm liners were actually cheaper than 83s, back in the 70s. (I act=
ually found a set that had been returned to Warshawski=E2=80=99s in Chicago=
, better known as JC Whitney, for even less than the usual price.)
And I=E2=80=99ve run 4500 for literally hours without a problem. (Speed en=
forcement in the desert tends to be lax =F0=9F=98=8A )
