My first housing, intermediate center bearing support, 9.5 lbs when
 finished.

 Wow! That is a jewel Jeff. You do beautiful work.  Are you going to build
 up an engine to test it?

Jeff,

Ditto Paul's comments on the beautiful work.  This is intended for a 20B,
correct?  I, for one, would be interested in one of these, after it has
been
shown to be airworthy, of course.  Maybe I'm not seeing it, but where's
the
oil pan flange?

Jeff--second Mark's email regarding 20B.  Interested first in thick 20B
housing.

We machined aluminum 13B housing in the early 1990's with halves sealed with
o-ring but never tested, opting at the time to proceed with aluminum
castings. In process, as test hours accumulated, had to address cracks  in
gear attach structure as well as around dowels.

We can provide both dyno and flight testing of housings with both 13B and
20B peripheral port engines with evaluation of structure and also alternate
wear surfaces for comparison.

If you proceed, we would like to obtain test housings prior to application
of any wear surfaces.
