An insite.

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..



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!
