Thanks, but what I'm getting best at is stealing other people's ideas.  The
texture used was posted here by someone else (worn metal texture on a metal
mask).  I'm especially proud of the rounded edges on all the objects.  I
started out by making the engine block and cooling fins out of boxes and
cylinders, but thought it didn't look right.  I added cylinders to all the
edges with spheres at the corners and toruses (tori???) around the
cylinders.  The bolts were made in sPatch and the spark plug is just a
cylinder with a cylinder and sphere for a cap (I often start out with crude
objects just to get the position and size and then replace them later with
more complex shapes).
