Offset grinding the "E-Shaft" ?
On piston engines, there is a way to increase the stroke by offset grinding the rod bearing journal of the crankshaft; has anyone tried it with the rotary E-Shaft?
I believe it should work for a small increase in stroke, and also it would add compression as well. Yes, we are talking small amounts, but maybe we could get up to a 1.4 liter?
It would need some type of adapter bearings for the smaller E-Shaft diameter.
Any thoughts?
Anyone say "impossible"?

Yes, I had forgotten the seals still ride the housing on the intake stroke.
Longer seals to make up for the greater stroke would break easier.
I suppose you could increase the stroke , but only a tiny amount.
Anyone have a guess how many thousandths extra stroke you could get away with?
Anything more, and you need new rotors and the internal gear design too....
Hmm, change stroke and design a new planetary gear and rotor?

Let's just hope the 1.6 is a bolt-in upgrade.....
And the boost toys we have fit.....
