I had a couple of people asking me to make a v8 out of my earlier designs but i wanted to make a dual valve head anyway, so i made a new design.
This engine can be run as a single or a v configuration. All parts can be tacked to make an inline 1-many or a vtwin, v4, v6, v8, v10 and then you'll propably have to much crankshaft flex :P
I've made the v-twin version, it runs really nice and is a lot more efficient then my earlier designs. Who's going to be the first to make a v8? :)

To-do.
change the head design to get the rods for the tumblers inline for multi cylinder use.
tips:
rotate the tubmler 11,4 degrees to get it flat on the printbed.
Most parts are rotated 45 degrees.
