I would be very careful with the design of a skid-plate. There is only 1 1/4 quarts of oil in that engine, it needs all the cooling from the airflow it can get. Most people think of these engines as air-cooled. Actually the oil does around half of the cooling, then the oil is cooled by air passing over and around the cases. It is a wet sump engine, remember.
