I made the 18 push rods out of .7mm brass rod then drilled the crank case;something I never knew was that the rods are offset at the crankcase one being out front a little maybe 2-4" in real life.So with a deeper hole than what was provided gave me the leeway to cut a longer rod insert into hole and pull back up to the rocker itself.Thus only having to glue at the rocker.I had to seriously narrow the map box to make room for a rod that attaches to a PE lever assembly on the R/S of the pit.Both engines paints gloss black by Alclad,Dull Silver Alclad and fins highlight with burnt sienna acrylic by MM.I really wish my LHS still had the same owners and I would be able to p/u tan wires for 1/24 scale cars
