W16 Engine: The Cylinder Head (Part 2)
In this post about the W16 Engine I will continue describing the cylinder head’s build up until the point I initially thought it is ready, but then realized it is flipped upside down.
You can find the first part of this post here.
Download the part file.
See detailed explanations in the extended entry at the end of the post.
Thank you for reading about this build and stay tuned for the next post which will continue the with the cylinder head’s „repair” and conversion for the right side of the engine.

As our SolidWorks Reseller living and working in Ireland, Seamus explained the t4 history. There was a great deal of planning and dedication. T4 wanted all teachers and students to be provided cutting edge hardware, software, and resources to learn through design. The top Irish educators, curriculum developers, assessment coordinators were trained by Solid Solutions Ireland.
