I'm hoping the extra ball bearings (no Cage) and PEEK seals will hold in pressure from the crank better, as not to blow out oil seals ever so slightly

The c3 deep grove high speed bearings with the rubber seals is where I'm at with it... My concern with the ceramic bearings is the tolerances when they heat up could bind causing it to fail or get so hot the seals could be compromised...

Tell me what y'all think about my next build please

I'll be using these bearings with half PEEK seal bearings, as to expose them in the crank to oil for lubrication,
Not ZZ metal seals as in photo

Then all hand cut 5 gaskets with dremal
Crank gasket
Spacer gasket
2 reed gaskets (sandwich)
Bottom cylinder base gasket

Should be a sound engine correct?
I love the idea of the copper gaskets... but just for the case half's I would rather use yamabond 5 to squeeze them together without the gasket reducing the end play on the crank and shims... By working the lip and grove down with sand paper one could close the case tighter eventually finding the ideal run out... 3mm off center line
