Fits nicely if you fettle all the mounting holes and pins
All parts printed. Then with a little fettling to clean up drill holes the parts slot together. Then can be glued once each part is painted. More engines to come by Will Pattinson, on Flickr

Now the wife has to paint it up.
Anyone know the colours of different parts. Is it just alot of silver and black with some green?

Wow, you've done an impressive job there!
Looks amazeballs, as for paint, black, silver and a ton of grease, oil, a bit of brown from leaky water joints and you will have a real work of art there. Must be some colour pics on the interweb, I'll get cracking. So when are you going into business?
Good stuff Will

P.s
How did you scale it to 1:16? Mine was based on poor mathematics and guesswork.
Again, lovely piece of work, don't mean to gush but I know a good bit of 3d printing when I see it! Lol
You've set a benchmark there. (New number one fan)

Check out roughly 5 minutes in

I took yours and kept same size. I must admit I assumed it was already scaled 1/16 based on its size.
That's the problem not having blueprints or dimensions.
The engine looks similar to the one linked in Wayne's post.
I obviously couldn't get same detail as I had only your model to.go.from. We can always tweak if needs be

Just working on my phone this morning. So will make these pictures later

Tested for size. Looking good by Will Pattinson, on Flickr

For my needs here, the size looks right. I will make it work.
Does everyone agree it looks ok?

Absolutely spiffing old chap

Looks ok to me, will look fantastic once painted and weathered
