Depending on the final angle of the fuselage in relation to the ground, I may shear off a front cylinder or two.If the aircraft only did a simple nose-over and then caught fire this maybe all the damage you would expect to see to the engine.In that case the broken fuselage may have been an attempt to rescue the pilot.

Note the location of the fuel tank(and its plumping)just behind the engine.There is no fire wall shown in this drawing but I will be installing one.Even so it wouldn't take much to start a fire!

There are many things wrong about this engine but I am not spending a lot of time correcting them.As long as it looks like a engine from a distance and takes up the space it is ok by me.What with fire and accident damage not a lot of it will be seen anyway!

I knocked #1 cylinder off its moorings by shearing the bolts at the base.This cylinder is now pushed back and off to the side of cylinder #2.Just this will result in a lot of damage to the camshaft etc... which will add to the look.
