It's a long video but it shows how fancy these new milling machines are. I only count 12 cylinders though? And I still don't see how they machine inside the water passages.

If you want to see how the twirly bits go together in a W12 motor look at the one farther down about Volkswagen. Very cool stuff!

A video was posted sometime back of a DART V8 billet being machined, and they milled passages in the deck around the sleeving area of the cylinders. Never can tell, and we know they have to be there!
First half of the video is of a 12 cyl. Second half is of a 16 cyl.
