Hi guys!
Im sorta new to the forum and stirling engines but have some "newbie" questions:

how tight should the displacer seal be, where the displacers shaft exits the "lower body"? (sry dont know what its called)

does it matter how thick the displacer piston is? what happens if it too thick or too thin?

All info is welcome!!
