I got a chance to look at this, and it isn't actually a bug.

It has to do with this issue: https://www.ventdev.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=3868

Internally, every engine has a bore and stroke value saved, even if the engine type doesn't use them. This is used to calculate the size of the engine.

Every year the minimum and maximum bore/stroke values decreases. When you change the layout component, it resets the Bore/Strike values to the percentage of the bore/stroke sliders (even if you don't see it) within that range.

So, in short, Bounty #86 will fix this issue.
