Mine arrived as a set of castings started by an idiot .
Suffice to say holes in wrong places and all sorts of issues.
Those who study it will see I have  no outboard bearing for crank.
I fabricated a crankshaft and have both bearings on board .
Makes for a stable engine and smaller footprint .

Cheers

I wish i could do that sort of stuff Dennis ...my engine was very poorly made but had been running in the past having
a long hard life and was badly worn, so my skill if you can call it that was to make drawings and careful measurements  so some one could make me up what i needed which they did, my contribution was to get the thing rebuilt and set up properly then carry out work to the piston and valve to make the engine run and finally decorate it....Steve
