I get what you're saying. He's had some failures for sure, but then, he's tried some stuff no one else has, too. I actually like the engine he built called "zing". I thought that was a good thought process. He used a cast crank in a forged crank block. Modified one or the other or both to make it work in the name of a really light weight rotating assembly. I would have just built a cast crank engine, but I guess he just used what he had. I don't remember reading a specific reason he did it that way and I don't know what ultimately became of "zing" but I thought the theory was a good one. The slant six needs all the help it can get and lightening the rotating mass would certainly help. The one he built from the aluminum block that he tried to make the deck for didn't turn out so well. He's trying though. You gotta give him credit for that. He's probably had a good time doing it too. I know I'm havin a blast with my stuff and I've just scratched the surface in comparison.
