Well, work has been REALLY slow, so I've been playing around learning on some new software. My bread and butter is the UGS NX series, but I did this stuff in Solid Edge ST.
This all started out as something to keep me busy in between time, but its turned into a bit of an obsession. Not all of the details are right, but the main geometry (bore, stroke, rod length, bore spacing, bolt hole diameters, etc) are all correct.
As you can see, its nowhere near completion. I was hoping to get it closer to completed before I showcased it here, but I'm getting shipped off tomorrow, so I won't be able to work on it for the next few months. I know some things look out of place (belt-style timing chain cogs, wimpy little water neck, etc) but keep in mind this was a work in progress.
As you can see, some of the valvetrain is in place. I actually had it really close to animating it all, which includes valve events and what not, but I won't have time to finish that now. Also, the cam specs are super top secret.
Anyway, nuff talk. Enjoy the pics.
