I just had this idea Jerry. Let's cast some peripheral port
inserts. Would save a bunch of hand labor and machining
on the transition from the round runner to the rectangular
peripheral port. How far along are you with a test
peripheral port engine?

Paul, if it really saves labor and machining that would be great.  Thus
far (I have not worked on this project for three weeks but will be back
on it next week) all machining has been in the lathe and has  been
very easy and inexpensive  to do.  Making the round hole rectangular,
is something I am going to do with the die grinder.  I don't expect
this to be a difficult task.    Never-the-less,   I think cast parts
are the way to go.  Jerry
