DON'T listen to any of the naysayers.......go for it!!
get your Dremel out and cut, grind, polish and glue every piece of this technilogical marvel.
drill lightening holes in the piston, rod and heck even the drive washer. may as well port the head into a double bubble setup while your at it.
replace the carb with a BIGGER one and use a pump to feed it.............i'm betting you'll get at least 200 rpm more out of all this fine and tedius work
only draw back will be the stock rod..................probably grenade itself in the first flight.
man i can't wait to see your rpm figures, this is gonna be a goer, even if for a short while
Thanks - I think....

I'm not going nuts with it. I had some down time as I waited on the bearings to get here so I just put a radius on the ports and smoothed out a few things. I didn't do much so I'm not expecting much but I have learned a few things in this thread so keep the sarcasm, comments, questions and snide remarks flowing! I'm surprised Dar hasn't chimed in. He loves beating on me!
