Very nice models.
what drawings/plans are you working off of? Are you going to create the detail/dimensioned
drawings? Thats going to be allot of work.

Check out the first post, there is a description of plans origin.
If you mean by detail/dimensioned drawings a some kind 2D drawings with line dimensions I do not plan to do this.
All 3D models are produced Scaled down so if you have some kind of 3D CAD software you can produce what ever 2D drawings you wish, different projections cut outs so on.
 
Nice drawings but one comment on your studs, it is usual to have a plain section in the middle and just thread the two ends like teh ones below. Also the older engines tended to have single chamfer nuts not the more modern double chamfer like you have shown.

All 3D models are created at 1:1 scale. The drawings which are made from these models can be at whatever scale you set your software for, but the drawings will still show the full scale dimensions.
 
Hi Jasonb, you are 100% correct regarding the studs. I will correct them at some point in the design. For now I will leave them as they are because I am using them from ready made library from the Autodesk Inventor, and is easy for me that way until I verify the design kinematically. Regarding single chamfer nuts you are also right, mine they are also lib parts. To be exactly correct engines from that period wold probably have square nuts regarding to my research. If you or any body else reading this have exact photos of the actual engine or any kind print please post, I will reproduce the exact parts.
Very nice bearing by the way.
