I would assume 94.5, the "b" piston refers to the pin height used for stoker cranks

Today I machined my crankcase for sand seal since the hole for pulley was in a bad shape because a pulley cracked last year and made deep scratches to the case. Now it's like brand new :D

Started planning my custom exhaust manifold. 3D printed a bunch of different radius bend pieces and different lenght straights to make a prototype which I'll turn into stainless steel header later on.
Trying to fit everything on the stock body without any cutting.
Also want to have a good muffler setup so it'll be a tight fit :D
