from what I think, this bearing settings should save me from oil problems. more suggestions are welcome based on the shaft arrangement. I will be casting the shaft tunnel tomorrow morning.

hi John, i noticed that using the turbo kits made for the turbine am using will make the flame tube a bit longer, is that a good thing for the engine?

Longer is good :-)
Your evaporator wall thickness is a bit thick , so heat transfer can be reduced

I used my spared time to work on CKS-01 ENGINE control board with the help of my friend who knows a little about electricals while waiting for the cast aluminium for the shaft tunnel.

NO rpm counter, fuel/oil pressure meter for now. any diagram on fuel regulator(varying the fuel pump voltage) and spark plug circuit with ignition coil is welcomed! thanks

For fuel regulation it is easiest and cheapest just to buy a PWM controller on Ebay, no use going through the trouble building one yourself since the parts will most likely be more expensive than a complete china PWM.

work started on the shaft tunnel and after some hours of turning on the lathe i got something promising, because of the shaft am using it makes the work more troubling....

the cast quality is not all that good but manageable.
