Hemi Engine Build Up!

Not quite up to the same specs as CannonBall, WiseArse or BirdBloke! Here's my Hemi! Follow the build up! Might take some time! The modelling board is graduated in 1" squares so you can get an idea of the size. And the golden nugget helps those not Imperially literate. The block is in several clear pieces to enable easy assembly (and could you imagine the cost of trying to cast a bit of plastic as complex as a block?)

Cheers, Kev.
That Rocker gear looks a bit more robust than the MP offering.
I hope you line honed the mains and will use plastigauge at the appropriate time...

It appears that the cam is n MP offering, just spent 40 minutes filing all the lobes and having to straighten it with Carole's hairdryer!

Back of the class for you
Sandy could be right but how can you tell the direction of rotation at the moment?
