Maybe a destroyed cylinder is a blessing in disguise. Seems with all the port errors maybe a reprint or new casting would be a freash start.

Great episode and finally the best quote from you for a while Alex.." Stop Assuming". You went step by step and test by test this episode to determine the factors affecting the power output. Having watched your channel for 4 years this is a major step forward for you and your stubbornness! :-) With all the knowledege you have now, it seems next step is to design and manufacture v2 of the engine fixing all the workarounds and mistakes  you have found in the first one. Attempting to fix this one and then start working on the dyno seems a redundant step. Take the time with a new design and while thats getting manufactured work on fixing the Dyno setup with another engine. Im sure we could all give you some money to get a new cylinder printed or cast. I see great things happening soon!

On the belt loss conversation, if that tensioner is made for automotive timing belts it it likely not intended to run the surface speeds you’re putting it through. If it is a gressed bearing it’s likely adding a lot of loss from grease sheer.

The ring snagging is unfortunate but I feel like you've come a long way, found a lot of issues and learned a lot over the last few weeks. That's all valuable knowledge and experience. I think you need to keep going down the path of simplifying things and removing as many variables as possible. That seems to be helping a lot. Hopefully this setback can be turned into an opportunity to correct the cylinder/port design mistakes. Best of luck. 👍

ever thought about a long intake trumpet ? incoming gas has mass / velocity therefore inertia ! creating a positive pressure for when inlet disc opens . Inertial ramming ? Heath.
