Long Stroke Engine

[OrangeAlpine]

I know that I stated that aside from the bore/stroke ratio, the engine was going to be conventional, but I'm going to renege. I'm seriously consider making it gearless, using Philip Duclos's Maverick as a model. Also thinking of using an eccentric to activate the exhaust valve. Does anyone have any experience doing that?

Wait a minute, why not use the beam to activate the valve?

Off topic question...
I am building the Henry Ford engine and saving the fuel system for last. I don't understand the reasoning behind the 'restrictor orifice' reasoning and did you use in your builds? Orifice size?
