Now you'll have to machine a proper crankshaft that will stand the stress of running, I aim for a free running speed of 1500rpm +, best power, ie., under load seems to be about half the maximum. Ian S C

The plate is quite OK as long as it is completely sealed, and there are NO air leaks, I use Loctite liquid gasket for sealing, but you'll think of something if you have not got anything like that.
