AFAIK, the spigots are normally there for a little smoother internal case breathing when the piston comes down.

What alu type did you end up with?
Extruded 6061 T-6 certified. Walter, finding 4032 ect was not possible, the 700 series and 2000 series will not take the coating. I asked and asked, and then I went to LN site and someone had 200,000.00 mile on LN early version of cylinder. If I remember correctly LN did use 6061 at first. Hay no one was able to tell me of a better on hand Aluminum. If it holds it shape, I'm sure the Nikisal will do its part. Walter I'm not sure if I'm going to use your shroud or just make some runners from my 11 blade directly to each of the cylinders. I plan to have my machinst friend make me some tubes for each of the cylinder and create opening for the runner air from the 11 blade and larger exits on the bottom, and be done with it.
