Though I would give you an insite into how a 'proper engine' works.

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..

Image

Image

Image

Into the mill..

Image

Image

Image

Now this is tool selection!!..

Image

Image

Finished block

Image

Like a fine lady pooling down her top...

Image

Image

Pistions (dog legged for less stress)..

Image

Image

Image

Pistons in housing

Image

Valves...

Image

Assembly

Image

Image

Now this is a torque wrench!

Image

Fitting fly wheel (before/after)

Image

Rejections

Image

A look down the line...

Image

Now the turbos...

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

More rejections...

Image

Nice...

Image

Injectors..

Image

Test bed...

Image

Image

Paint...

Image

The finished product..

Image

Image

Image

Image

Now thats what i call power...

Image

Sort of puts a 2/3L engine in perspective!
