He must have been removing too much material as they would only last about 4-5 flights before the piston top domed and eventually a crack would form. I never bought a piston from him because of that reason (he wanted like $20 each or something). That is where the lightened piston in the plans came from, the engine in the picture has a regular piston.

Yes, yes, I know ... missing the SPI piston.

We have way too many engines models and will be retiring about 10 or so models and auctioning off the built stock of such on eBay.

Black Mamba
Red Devil
Black Devil
Sportster
Red Sportster
Black Sportster (will be made into a Texaco Jr II)
Grey Bomber
Red Scorpion
Black Scorpion
Red Bee

Just get an assortment of crankcases, tanks, top ends, and spinners and assemble as needed.
