Thank you, Sir!

The motor is built up from styrene sheet and tube and rod and strip. There are about a hundred twenty seperate pieces in it, including the exhaust manifolds and pipe from the fuel tank. The cylinders are 2mm tube, with a 1mm bore that receives pegs sprouting from the top of the block. I use tube when I can, and pegging helps with strength (I sometimes drop things), and aids precise placement. The Renault motor had a cover, to concentrate the air-stream from its cooling fan, and this saved me having to do a lot of fuel intakes and ignition wiring between the cylinder banks.
