Are the cams and rods the same in the 16-23 hp vanguard v-twins?  I know the bore is different.

How about the piston/compression. Any word on if the long rod/shaved piston works on the 23? Is the 23 piston dished like it's smaller cousins?

Sorry to hear about the drought, George. That's rough.

Nor that would be up 2 classes.  I was just curious if it'd all work.  Can't seem to get this one figured out and I'm trying to get my hands on a 23.  We'll see.  I'd like to get this 16 running so I could give you some competetion!!
