Default How an Engine Works (Video)

Just found this on YouTube, its a 4 valve I4, but still a great video IMO

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMKbRIlzmic

My animation skills are average, otherwise I'd give it a shot w/ an ls1 design.

Looks a lot like Solidworks.

Each piece takes a lot of time just to draw. I couldn't imagine how many hours went into building just the block, let alone the assembly of the entire engine.

Nice find!!!!!
