All mechanical components for the Gen IIA engine have been completed and we will be starting testing this month.   Spirit Manufacturing Inc. developed new split crank shafts that allowed for the workings of the push rods developed and manufactured by Miro Tool.  Miro also built most of the other components for the engine.  Stork Ceramics in now coating the cylinder and piston heads.   Silent Muffler is building a new muffler to complement the engine design.

A dry run will be done by the end of May to ensure that all components are balanced prior to running the ignition system on the two cycle design.  The 500cc engine will then be placed on a dynamometer to determine its power and torque.  Testing is expected to be completed this summer.   Once this work is completed we hope to place the engine in a motorcycle for real life evaluation. 

Monolith Engines plans to pursue round one financing once the engine has been tested and proven to meet its design goals.  The funding will be used to develop a fuel injected version in the full Gen II four piston design.  This design will be a 1 liter engine expected to put out over 150 HP.    Monolith Engines received second patent # 7739998, and has applied for a third in the U.S., China and India
