It lives in many trucks in other parts of the world. In the US it was
originally forklift only. Its block is identical to a five-main R16 so
its crankshaft/pistons/rods can be implanted or an H20 block can be
dropped in a Roadster. From what I've been told the stock R16 camshaft
is too mild and should be reground if stroking an R16 this way.
I have an "R20" question. H20 pistons are dished and the compression
ratio is lower than an R16. Does a dished H20 perform much better than
a domed R16? Can I use domed or flattop U20 pistons with an H20
crankshaft?
