It's much easier to fabricate when you have 10 fingers to work with. Get some leather/cowhide work gloves on when you're working w/sharp tools (esp cut off wheels). This was after it cut through my leather glove. No glove on & I would have cut my thumb off....

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
