Thanks for the information. I had been keeping an eye on Achates' progress, but not a close eye. It is about time one of these good ideas finally makes its way into production.

I still suspect there may be an advantage to the single-crankshaft design within a particular range of engine sizes.

I was going to mention earlier that perhaps at least some of the picturesque, orange wooden fishing boats at Mar del Plata in Argentina may still be powered by Rootes-Lister TS3 marine engines. I don't know if it would be worth the trip to go see them, but if you do, check if any are still around, and accessible, before you go.
