Having looked at parts being remade for a engine project, the problems are 60 year old metal specs, heat treatment, but most of all knowledge. The cnc is not the answer nor is the computer. Look at the carbon fibre boat all tested on computer, first outing it broke. I don't think you can replace the men who designed built and tested these engines. Every one says modern technollergy is better but I think we have lost a lot of the abilities to redo these things. Not without relearning everything. But if some could please show me different I have a nice 37 ltr sleeve valve project that needs help
