That disk between the cylinders is supposed to be there
A better way to spend your time improving the engine is to replace the very over-scale ignition harness and push rods.

Watch out for the decals; the white is not opaque enough to cover the orange without an underlay.

I can't say for certain, but Google image search says that it's there more often than not. I expect that it's got something to do with the cowling design and forcing the cooling air to wrap around the cylinders properly

This kit certainly has sparked my interest. Just might be my 1st ever trainer.
