I know, 2.7i's don't exist in the US, so I guess this is more a Euro specific issue. M-technics in Europe usually came with a 2.7i engine, which is increased from 2.5 just by using different rods and a 2.7 crankshaft. I'm set to do this quite soon, and I was wondering if when all goes well, whether anyone in the US would like me to send them a crank/rod set or two, since it requires much less work than stroking a 2.5i with an eta crank. Any takers?
