I use a heat gun to warm up the engine everytime and to reduce stress on the Rod.
good to know im on the right track then. let me know how the murnan mods go. i see so much potential from this engine if it goes good std.
i think its a great idea to channel the fuel from inside the crank, its a fresh burst of fuel and oil straight from the carb, no matter where the piston position is. but a failsafe option is to run a rod with the oil hole as well.
