Very cool. Going to see my nephews over Xmas and will use they as a demo for a convo we are going to have on engines.

Nice work, but i think there are some problems...
Such as :
- valve lift
- distance between piston and valves at top dead center

And how about the prop going backwards.

The prop isn't going backwards. The Merlin turned right as view from inside the cockpit, just like an Allison. The Griffon turned left.

Alright, I'll be more specific. The prop blade leading edge is backwards.

Seems like it, but maybe it's a French propeller in a British experiment installed on an engine owned by the Russians that was captured by the Germans.

Well, none of it has been drawn from the engineering drawings anyway, so lets not be too picky. Its a decent effort considering its probably been done
from views in the service and rebuild manuals.
