In actual real life the real mistake was the breather baffle in the way to remove gear box w/o having to half remove engine to tip it out the way, ugh. The breather exit back there was not a bad idea otherwise. Oh OH yeah, there is another manufacturing mistake in at least Combat cases if not others, the machined faces of the through bolt bosses are a sharp corner stress riser. Dyno Dave found crack in one of mine so I ground them all out and had welder melt in shockingly even deeper to discover cracks in most of them not yet worked to surface. Ugh and another thing cases tend to break through crank shaft hole and 2nd bolt behind barrels. A plate across the bolt bosses on DS was tradtional fix but I did Peel on both sides which allowed adding an 11th clamp bolt right where the dang case seam length tends to dribble oil. Last but not least the through bolts are too thin so tend to work bores more and more and more, enough so a really hard run Combat can twist the cases on the locating dowels to bind like welded together, ughhhhhhhhhhhhh. So another good upgrade is to bore to almost interference fit 7/16" and use hi grade bolts. A fully fettered Commando is quite a nebulous temporal concept.
