I think if you want the safety and assuredness of testing that a
certified engine has, then fly behind one-in a nice certified airframe
that you can buy cheaper than building a homebuilt. A structural
inflight failure will get you killed far more reliably than an engine
failure. If you are opposed to experimenting, you shouldn't be in
experimental aviation.

It would be exceedingly rare for any pilot with many thousands of
hours experience, like myself, to endorse your warped & cavalier view.

Ever wonder why?

I am far from an expert,but from my past experience with cont. engs.,it
would seem to me that if someone could mill one out of solid alu. stock,
cyls. included,it would be a great eng.I would love to do it but I do
not have the machines or know how.
