Anything that hinders slight changes in length (expansion/contraction) will be an issue so you have to keep that in mind w/the hanger mounting.

I used parts store muffler hanger rubber cushions in tandem w/brackets (tabs) I made. In some places I used the U-bolt style clamps as a mounting bracket as well since brackets needs are specific to the area you're trying to mount things.

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.
