Honestly, G3B, you obviously know a great deal more about engines than do I. All I know from that event is what I saw, in terms of performance, what I heard in terms of pure screaming noise, and what he claimed.

Titanium was available back then, but I've no clue as to whether or not he had titanium rods - I rather doubt it.

Of my own experience. I have only (very, very briefly) pushed a multiple cylinder engine to 11, 200 rpm - and I was frankly amazed it didn't go off like a bomb.

I built a model tractor a long time ago, You bought one of the metal kid toy tractors from the feed store, used a band saw to cut the bottom off , bolted a gearbox to it and ran a Cox .049 engine. it could pull 120 LBS. They had contest with prizes it was really cool...
