I have heard (read?) that the cases from V700's and
Ambo's sometimes crack when the displacement is
increased (850, 1000), due to the lack of
reinforcement that was added for the Eldo and later
models.

I have heard this over the past 16 years myself, but (there's always a
but isn't there) it has always been from a 'guy that knew a guy' that
said this is what happened. I've yet to meet someone who has said, "My
case busted after I increased my displacement". Some time back, Pete
Roper over at the WildGuzzi board expressed his experience/opinion with
regards to this so I'll search those archives and see what he had to
say. Not saying it can't/hasn't/won't happen just sharing what I've
heard.
