-=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
