Juanjo, what your doing is just a masterclass at scratch building. Word’s don’t do the work your doing justice. I have one of these and know it will be a challenge to make it anywhere near what your doing. Hats off to you.

Jaunjo: Outstanding! Which of these two was better, in your opinion? Both required a lot of work, and the results speak for themselves.
I have asked this question before: why don’t more racing engines use desmodromic valves? If the 50’s had been like nowadays, every F1 engine after 1954 would have changed to them...I’m guessing it’s the cost(?)... Tim
