Hard to say. With the bore center staying at 91mm there is not much room to go larger. And the cylinder in already over square so increasing that is not likely either. So I would not count on more displacement from M, but it is not out of the realm of possibility.

Is it merely coincidental that these displacement figures have been "thrown around" on this board?
