I considered welding a nut & doing the set-screw. But, after installation, it seems as tight/tighter the the original set-up so I skipped it. Same logic on the binding agent. Seems fine w/o it. I'll revisit it later if something comes up I don't like.

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.
