Hey Shinpachi,
When you get finished, just send the files over to Toyota and have them run off a few hundered Merlins ...
The world would thank you with a lot of MONEY.
Only ... better not run off too many half-valves. Probably better if you do the entire valve.
One question...won't it all be invisible once you shove it in the crankcase, install the engine in the fuselage and button up the cowling?
Here is a link to the EngineHistory.Org website. It is a link purportedly by Robert Beal who wrote a book about engines.

In this file, about halfway down, it says all the Merlins were DOHC engines!
Now, for everyone who has actually worked on one, that will be a bit of a shock since all the Merlins I have sever seen were SOHC engines with 4 valves per cylinder.
Makes you wonder exactly who these "experts" are, doesn't it?
Gives me great faith in his table numbers ... Not.
Shinpachi,
Your CGI is flawless!
More! Show an entire engine or aircraft of ANY sort.
Better yet, your girlfriend.
