Interesting.... I wonder what the results will be w/the lowers shifted forward. How much do you plan to move them for the testing?

Also, possible cures for the upper arm cross-flip issue: narrow the upper arms 1" or maybe some of those Moog 'problem-solver' off-set upper a-arm shafts??

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.
