So, if the plate is made to include the bits you have shaded, rather than just round holes, does that make it OK?
(back to what I originally asked
)
lol.. i've been refraining from suggesting that..
yeah, in theory, but the unsupported area would just not be stable enough IMO.. and we are then missing the point - the primary problem isn't a 'dangerous' compression issue (makes around 0.2 CR increase at minimum thickness or thereabouts) but rather the issue of breaking into the valve seat inserts.. so the plate would not help that at all..
