What are the breathing arrangements, Joe ?  That piston whizzing in and out is
going to cause pressure pulses in the enclosed area which will tend to blow oil
out at every gap.

Reminds me of the big F-M at Mount Wilson, that had a veritable gale blowing in
and out of the two breather covers when the engine was running, as both pistons
went up and down together.
