to be honest, Chris, if the thing blew up in an orgasmic rush of revs as a result of fitting this new bit that is bought, paid for and in my hands, it might draw my mind temporarily away from the constant penury of fault after fault with crappy old bits breaking, leaking or whatever. Bring it on! Cinderella will go to the ball!
Just that it might move under its own steam will be a plus.
(but, as I said, the slight reduction of CR for me would be a blessing.. and it also removes another potential water leak joint!)
Whether the Ricardo effect is at right angles to the force of the piston or benefiting from a slightly wider take, I'm past caring really... its going on, and I'll probably do some relief too just to see what happens! :-)
