We are talking of different things.
OP wants to make a boxer crank for two 2.5 ccm opposed cylinders .
I try to calculate mass difference between making the crankshaft as a pressed up thing like mr Dieter has done or using a screwed construction like the one I posted from a V2 dream of mine...
Your method will work just as well for a V2 crank.
I have tried to compare mass for Your pressed version with my screwed and difference for a 5ccm V2 will be less than half a gram.
ByeBye feeling a genious on that account but it was nice,free and unpoluting as long as it lasted.
Thank You for...
Have started on dimensions from Holly Buddy.
Significant change is 6mm instead 5mm crankpin diameter but only 8 long instead of 10mm.
Are there someone that has indicated a model Diesel (that is not a diesel)?
What is max pressure?
OK.
Let us agree on some numbers.
Bore and strokes in mm please.
The two pistons need not have same diameter,but same mass
Big end bearing size(Crankpin dia)
Conrod mass
Conrod hole distance
Piston mass.
Hello Patrick
Are You still interested in seing and diskussing V twin crankshaft proposals?
I have speculated a lot many years ago and like to explain.

Welcome
Most likely problems are the piano that controls the rpm and direction of motor and that the gearbox selector forks,made of toothpaste are broken.
Solution?
Three phase AC motor and converter
The toolholder system is very flexible and web is full of drawings of how to make it more rigid
A range of 5 to 50 kW Range Extender gensets will surely be needed.
Fuel either compressed natural gas or hydrogen.
On roads with more than say 100 cars and permitting higher than 50 miles per hr ,cheapest and best propulsion system is nuclear power and pick-up electric contacts on road.

A sure way to get rich and famous.
I tried and failed so field is still open.
There is an obvious need of having an si combustion engine that generatec 5 to 50kW electricity using alcohol,petrol, CNG etc,ect. for reserve and range extending in electric cars.

Let me phantazize:
A single cylinder SV Two stroke that runs half the mean effective pressure of a fourstroke give same power at same rpm and has to endure half the maximum pressure.
The big ca 20 horsepower /540 ccm/ 60 rps/94mm bore/78mm stroke four stroke OHV singles can be substituded by a...
I assume You refer to the 500 ccm single cylinder from B&S with ca 17hp at 60 rps and around 30 kg mass.
What is the anti vibration system and do You have diagram of installed measurents.
For my own pleasure I will scheme a better mousetrap but wonder if the two cylinder V engines sell better.
I have dreamt of a side exhaust valve two stroke with normal less than one percent oil/petrol crankcase lubrication.
More even fire,lower mass,lower fuel consumption etc,etc .
What are the Google search terms for these B&S motor turned bombs histories mentioned?

I put a homemade spindle with 28mm hole,ER 40 thread and cone in a cheap chineese 180 lathe.
Cone and thread was machined in situ the Schaublin way and surprisingly accurate.
Cheap and accurate

A start for glow head engines interest can as well be SAE paper 2002 -01-0115 Olaf Erlandsen, Lund University ,Sweden.
The term Semi-Diesel is nonsense.
Invented by marketing.
The Exhaust smells completely different to a diesel engine.
I got paper as pdf 260kb document from mr Erlandsen 2004...
