I haven't much experience with the Gilbert but have messed around a bit with a friend's. One thing that struck me about it was that it seemed rather lightly constructed. Do you reckon it would be up to the rigours of operating as a diesel?
Yeah, I agree that it does look lightly constructed but having never seen one in the flesh all Ican do is refer to these pics from this site

P.S.
Here is a link to chat about that engine -
