Is there anybody out there/here who is familiar with the new 1/16 Sopwith Camel from Artesania Latina?

Looks like a decent kit, nice detail except for 2 or 3 things. The display, I can work on that. That seat cries out for a scratchbuild wicker option, I can do that too I guess. But that engine, please... that is a joke!! Now I do not think that there will be a complete engine anytime sooon that is also afordable.
But I talked it over with a collegue who can do some work with a 3d printer, but for that I need info to see if it is at all possible.
So... can anybody provide me with the dimensions of cylinders used in this kit? I can find the actual dimensions, but for an acurate build it would need to fit the cylinder heads provided and they are not that bad.
