Well no but you can find such tutorials on internet so you just have to follow the steps. Never bothered doing it myself tho.

il tidy it up a bit when i get a chance and post it on here, i need a proper dimensioned drawing of a YB to get it all lookin right as at the moment its just an engine from memory with a cossie cam cover on it!

i looked for ages cos i couldnt be bothered to do it myself, its easy to get it to look roughly right but getting it to actually look right will take ages. I havent used solidworks but its taken a while on inventor because ive made it work like an engine, so if i rotate the crank the cams rotate and the valves open and close etc

My plan is to design a space frame cosworth

Not quite a space frame but I did this in Solidworks using 3D sketching



Took me far too long

Would you use 3D sketching for a space frame or build it as an assembly from individual parts ?

GARETH T

A bit of both to be honest
