----- I would use individual clyinder head/barrel combos, as was done in the
'special experimental' engine . Same as the USN aircooled aircrft engines I
used to change plugs on. . Geeeeezzz, that was along time ago !!
Years ago, before WW 11, there was a cookware co., called Silver Seal. They
made great pots and pans. Went out of business due to the aforementioned
conflict. Whatever aluminum alloy they used, it is great stuff, I feel
fortunate to own a couple . This stuff would be my choice, with a steel
cylinder lining. Therefore, no push rod tubes, eliminating a couple dozen
leaks. I would like 5 or perhaps 6 bolts to hold them on, so it could have a
higher compression ratio without head gasket leaks. When you experts get
thru building one, let me know. If I recall correctly, somebody did make
some cylinders of aluminum with a steel sleeve, dont remember the name, but
I have a set of aluminum slugs that need sleeves , if anyone is interested.
