=Description=
 
The cylinder cover services to hold the cylinder liner in place and has two flanges that allow the valve assembly and mounting brackets to be attached.
 
There is some discussion at this time as to the shape of the cylinder flanges.  Originally a circular shape was specified, but this complicates the fabrication process, especially in the valve cover since it calls for a cylindrical shape to be created and welded in place. 
 
Positive Points for a Square Flange:
 
* Greatly simplifies construction
* Allows a cosmetic cover to be included later
 
Negative Aspects:
 
* Uses more metal
* Adds additional weight
* May require more bolts to fasten
