Wow totally didn't realize this and glad I asked. I had to read your post twice because I was going to say that the flywheel is on the other side of the engine and did not know how this had any play here. I can totally see how the flywheel with it's fins could be pulling air in but did not think about the airs escape. So in this design the air is being pulled in from the back of the engine and pushed over the cylinder then out the front, hum never new that. Well that makes more sense to me now and thanks
