    For those who might be interested: We have made some updates to our website and added a few products to the "coming soon" section. Check them out at: http://www.magnificentmachine.com MagVair Forged Pistons: We now have pistons in all sizes in stock and ready to ship. This is the second run of pistons; we have tightened up the pin to piston tolerances a little. Due to an increase in manufacturing costs we are forced to increase the prices slightly. However we realize that some may have been waiting for these to return to stock before placing their order. As such, we will hold off the price increase for a week or so. MagVair Forged 4340 Rods: Our Rods have been on back order for some time now due to a container that was "set aside for inspection". The container has been released and I expect the rods here any day now. Those of you who have patiently been awaiting these will not be disappointed. MagVair Forged 4340 Crankshafts: The crankshaft project continues to move forward. We now have a 3" stroke crankshaft in a case with our rods, pistons and aluminum cylinders. This engine is very close to completion and I expect it to run within the next couple of weeks or so. We will then proceed with testing. We recently put a 3.25" crankshaft into a case with a cam and two rods. When we rotated the crankshaft we were looking for interference between the rods & the cam lobes. It was a quick and dirty test to see if it was going to be a big problem or a small problem. We did not see any interference with those two rods. We have not mocked up all of the cylinders yet so we may find some interference with the other rods. At this time it looks like there should be no problems. We will mock up the entire rotating assembly soon as time permits. Paying customers come first; R&D doesn't pay the bills. :-) Our next Engine project looks like it will have the 3.125" crankshaft and 92MM cylinders. This will net a 3165cc engine.

    Thanks for the update. Are you planning on adding a 5th bearing to the engine as part of your services? if yes, what would be the cost? Stefan Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=229905#229905

    Stefan, I would be happy to install any of the available 5th bearings on one of my engines should a customer be interested. The cost of the 5th bearing would be determined by the 5th bearing manufacturer.
