Tri-clamp cross diaphragm gamma, 2 in
A fast gamma in 2 in tri-clamp: a hot cap and short spool over a torch, a cross as the sealed crankcase with the crank inside it, a diaphragm on top and a thin crankshaft out through a long bore to the flywheel.
Diaphragm 2 in at 12 mm: 11.3 mL swept · displacer Ø46 × 60 at 12 mm: 19.9 mL swept · dead volume 68.1 mL · swept / dead 0.166
