You did mention an 82 mm crank, right? Are those rod bolts gonna clear?

and by placing them on the bottom, you have an engine that must have the case split to replace rod bearings. for an engine that's designed to come apart frequently (race engine) that may be an okay tradeoff. i like the idea of being able to pull a rod with the case together to inspect or replace the rod bearings whenever the cylinders are off.

just another tradeoff an engine builder must face...
