Congrats, Arnold....!!!
A fine model indeed. Large, too.... you won't want to lift it yourself.
I know the people who reverse engineered the valve work flying blind. The Henry Ford would not let them take the valve assemblies apart. Based on what they could see, they figured out what had to happen inside and got it to work. Bob Gale was the original model engineer on this project. I saw his work over several years at NAMES until he passed away. John Ugo and Dennis Howe took over the patterns and project and engineered the valve bodies. John Ugo has also passed on. Dennis is still with us and he sold his casting and patterns business to my friend Jeff Lehn in Western Pennsylvania.

Hi Gil - yes the valves are a complex "artwork" as the whole engine is. I have seen a building story
over 8 pages 2015/2016 - very impressive
