The turbos on top are my invested interest...
I had to go down the Daventry engine plant to day. To sort out a design problem with the V band. (Holds the orientation of the compressor housing) Anyhow thought I'd take a few pics to show my fellow MOC'ers what a 'proper' engine looks like!
Lets start....
Raw engine block fresh in from casting..
Into the mill..
Now this is tool selection!!..
Finished block
Like a fine lady pooling down her top...
Pistions (dog legged for less stress)..
Pistons in housing
Valves...
Assembly
Now this is a torque wrench!
Fitting fly wheel (before/after)
Rejections
A look down the line...
Now the turbos...
More rejections...
Nice...
Injectors..
Test bed...
Paint...
The finished product..
Now thats what i call power...
Sort of puts a 2/3L engine in perspective!
