What a peculiar contraption it is; I like it!

Just a very small update:

The Cylinder Head was modified slightly.

When I received the kit and drawings one thing that immediately stood out to me was that there was no good seal mentioned for the Cylinder Head,so i had this idea with an oring.

Pieter who currently builds the same engine sent me a Nitrile Oring and so i altered the design slightly with his help.
