And you would be FLAT wrong in saying that for some engines, and correct for others. I know this for a fact from many many setups.

OK Randy, with your experience, you are likely to be right.
I've been using this tank set up, almost exclusivly for the past 25 years. Probably only 2 or 3 metal hard tanks used during that time frame, I've used, or witnessed, this set up on Foxes, McCoys, K&B's, Thunder Tigers, Super Tigres, Magnums, Enya's, OS .35S, fp's, La's, Saitos, PA's, RO Jetts, and Stalkers. About the only one I wasn't totally happy with were the Saitos, but I'm not sure it was the tank that was the problem.
Though I'm not a neofite, I'm always open to learning. Could you please elaborate on the problems solved, and engines affected and cured by moving the end of the uniflow forward, rearward, or, as some have advocated, closing it off and using the tank as a standard vented tank?
I've come to the conclusion that there's a bit of the Alchemist in many setups, finding that a successful setup from one doesn't work worth a hoot for another. I'm trying to discover the reason why, so your help is appreciated.
