Tremendous amount of testing of different metals for various parts of the engine and design of new carbon fiber induction system and carbon fiber oil tank. Better to be thorough now than after the next test engine is assembled.

BTW when test engine is ready for prime time, various lightweight parts (e.g., rods, pistons, wrist pins, crankshaft, induction system, oil tank, starter, alternator, etc.) will be added

Good to hear!

Is there anything you can tell us about the oil tank, starter, and alternator - like whether you designed them or if they are commercial units?

Neither starter, alternator or oil tank are standard. Oil tank will, as current tank, be carbon fiber but of a different design. Starter and alternator, which are currently lightweight, will be replaced by more highly engineered even lighter units.
