Thanks for posting, very cool, also the VW W8.
Can you imagine the look on the counter persons face if you brought in a Head like that and said "I'd like a valve job on this please"

How does this configuration work on the crank- do 4 rods bolts to each big end journal?

Curiously there are videos on youtube of a big cnc milling machine carving blocks from billet, saying they are Veyron, but they are different from that above. With a milled block, how would you make the coolant galleries? I suspect they are just demos showing off the milling machine.
