I was actually looking at a Moki rdial engine to build into a prewar motorcycle. But I do have some concerns, the engine would be inline with the motorcycle so won't the back cilinders get to hot? And also how would the main bearings hold up to the force of a transmission.. and not fanblades..
Hi Mackael, this engine is low rpm and low TORQUE engine designed for use in airplane with very good cooling. I think not good idea to use it in slow motorcycle with very bad cooling. You must cool both sides of cylinders, in other case will get only damaged engine and money loss ... But do as you want.

@@Dzordzikk thank you for the quick reply, I will look at an other engine design for my project ;)
