There was a guy who started to build an engine for the moto3 (before it became a single engine series) series. He had a blog going... got quite far but I haven't seen anything lately nor can I find the blog. There have been a few bike builders who built there own engines. |

That healey motor was amazing - thats what im taling about. Wonder how they made the molds.. most likely cnc'd out of some lightweight concrete material im guessing, doesnt seem to be sand molds anyway, the cores seems to be usual sand tho. |

It may be on that site - not looked in detail, but a few years ago when I had a 1965 Austin Healey 3000 BJ8 Mk11 (and had the current interest) I came across a series entirely about making that set of castings and other bits for the engine. I seem to remember that there were videos too. |
| NeoTech:
when clicked around on the site, i found the molds and that process as well, they made the whole thing out of wood.. i find that immensly impressive.. =) |
