oh btw 998 and small bore are the same thing
I know, just didnt want to list all the other small bores... because I dont know it, and thats just the way it came out in my head.
So Chris... are you talking roughness as in the feel off it when you're driving? Or is it tsometing that can be covered up by the stereo
no not roughness at all.... its more the feel of it. it just feels like its just not got more. (It does though) it just comes down to the fact that large journal cranks arent good for revving. so as ur sitting on 110 u really feel like u dont want to push it anymore, and when u back off its like the engine is givving u a gasp of relief. its got much heavier parts in there swinging around. the 1.0l on the other hand is a lot lighter (internally) and just doesnt mind to rev. I believe small journal 1275s are much the same as 998s for their ability to rev, but wouldnt know cos i dont own one.
btw, Matt is right
My experience with the LS (1100S motor) was that the engine was sad because it had a stock cam and wanted to rev and rev hard. It happily sat on 100 with stuff all revs like 3700 ish 110 was up around 4k. MY guess it had a small journal crank with the above theory in mind but wouldn't know for sure.
