Hi, I am 75% done with this model. It has taken me quite some time and ericthepoolboy is right, it will test your machine and your patience. I have wasted about 1 lbs of filament trying to print some of these parts, but you learn so much about the limits of you and your machine. I bought all the necessary hardware and I have a rotating assembly working, I am working on the valvetrain now.
BTW if you want to try this, the timing cover is the hardest part to print because it curls if you dont have a heated bed. I even tried it with heavy rafting and it still wants to curl up. You have to really have a good machine to print these parts, they are very intricate and some are very small. The block alone took me 42 hours.
