Steve, you're looking at the crank with the journal rotated to the bottom of it's stroke, and I'm looking at it with the journal at the top of it's stroke. It's possible we're both wrong on the math. When changing stroke, you add the change to both the top and bottom of the stroke, giving, according to your figures, a max 4.0184 stroke.
