Ian,
I will go through the assembly once more to check for leaks. I just cut 2 8.4 0z. aluminum cans in half and rejoined the bottoms to form a displacer that is about the heighth of a small tomato paste can. The joint is bonded with JB Epoxy. I think it should help. Thanx for the advise.

Re: Is anybody on this forum building Stirling Cycle engines
I'm working on my 4th prototype of a Walking Beam Stirling Engine. I keep running into problems with the timing. Eventually I will get one to work, meanwhile it is enjoyable to try different approaches. Right now I'm preparing to try out an aluminum can displacer.

Re: another displacer material--aerogel.
How well would steel wool lightly sprayed with sodium silicate and allowed to dry work as a displacer?
