Thanks for sharing these pictures and reflections, Youri! It's amazing to see documented what can be done to these engines without transplanting turbos or whole new drivetrains on the car. The little things make all the difference. You know I love to see what you are doing. Thanks for sharing to a somewhat wider audience.
Seeing your bottom end work reminds me I have a block in the back of my garage which deserves some attention some day in the future

I know you will be increasing compression on this engine. I wonder if you could elaborate on the advantages and risk of doing so, and what you will do to avoid detonation and overload of the bottom end?
