Both peripheral ports and side ports. Lots of potential for
staging the ports to get the best of both worlds. Smooth
running at low speeds and high HP at high speeds.

Congratulations for getting to 5 hours Richard. That is a hell of an
achievement getting to a running engine.

Is that front housing (PSRU end) with the redrive plate stand offs

hogged

from a solid chunk of Al? Must have been a hell of a lot of swarf!

Yes Mark,
all the machining on the engine was done on my CC and old South Bend lathe.
I will do it that way until the components are proven configuration.
The stand offs on the PTO end are individual parts no, but the next
configuration will be of one piece with additional mods reducing the number
of individual parts.
