Also how are you going about balancing the crankshaft. It seems like your going to have
to balance it like a V-8 using bobweights in which case your going to have to cut down
the counter weights quite a bit to make up the the loss of weight of the other rod and piston. Maybe the spacer should be made bigger and of steel. My 2 cents.
Good questions I have been thinking about that, but have not come up with a answer yet.
