My many thanks to Terri, Bud, Alain, Ernie, LM, Martin, Ozkan, Rick and Dave for all your very nice comments, they are much appreciated.
I have added all the rocker assemblies, valve springs and the push rods (only one per cylinder?), the spark plugs have also been added. The engine has build has been quite time consuming but is getting close to being finished.

Your detail work is truly astonishing. No offense to Lukasz, but this engine surpasses anything I've ever seen from any of the aftermarket folks.
Cheers,

That engine, Sir, is a wonderful model all on its own. I looks like you could fire it up and a model aloft with it....
