The 1.6's by nature are more rev happier. Shorter stroke = less torque = slower piston speeds = pistion ring longevity. Longer stroke = broader torque range but faster piston speed the higher the rpm's. I prefer multiple cylinders with a shorter stroke. Torque can be made back by exhaust tuning. I'm working on something for that now
