Default 110 bolt on

How many have done this and what do you think of it? With the skinny skirts that fit the case these must be different from the factory 110.

They are different than the factory 110. Time will tell weather they will hold up.

The 110 cylinders in the bolt on kits use machined steel sleeves with ribs on them instead of the older cast sleeves. This makes them a lot stronger and they can have very thin spigot walls that are very strong. Thus they can be bored for 4" pistons.

Now you don't have to worry about kit.
