Very interesting treatment to the valve stems, considering how high they rev, very necessary I should think!

Too much for me to fully understand
I'd have loved to have seen the wooden patterns and core boxes used, bet they were a work of art in themselves!

There is a link at the bottom to a video of building a Ferrari V12 engine that shows the whole process including casting.

I've got there, The sand cores were interesting to me, as there were placed in the mold, unfortunately the wooden patterns that produce it did not feature. Must say the engineering looked fabulous, could almost compete with the A series
If money were no object there are some beautiful things one could experience. However none can beat good health.
