Looks pretty good so far man, just couple of things:

The intake rests on the heads, so yours will be to small, and those are tiny intake ports.

The crank snout is quite thicker than that, and that whole section isn't that indented into the block.

TB and cylinder bores are too small.

All in all, 100,000x better than I could ever do, nice work!

Looks like a 25mm intake. Looks good though. I did the same thing last year in CADD class last year using actual specs. Never got around to doing an intake though, just the block, pistons, crappy looking heads, and a cam that turned out sweet.

That's what I was thinking LOL

Anyways, nice work OP! Needs a few things and some sizing adjustments... but definitely not bad for being bored in class

It's cool to see someone else with this kind of experience. I have over 3 years of inventor experience under my belt. I always thought it'd be cool to model an engine. Even more so to create the assembly with all the proper constraints in place to make it work like a real engine.

not to give you **** but you can do alot better with inventor than that...especially with the intake manifold...not bad though...

try doing a full painball gun with hooper in about 4 weeks with all other 400 level engineering classes senior year...armed with only a caliper...

Nice. I use Inventor everyday. Been designing for 9yrs, but started 3d with Inventor6 or 7. Now using Inventor2009. I built some items off my dumdumdumdumdum with this. I will dig some pics up.
