Cylinder head design in solidworks, help!!!
(OP)
Hi!
I am trying to design a single cylinder head for a 250 racing engine.
I am using solidworks, i have make some drawing but i can not get good results.
External shape is not problem but i want to get all internal shapes (water cavities)
now i am trying to design all head shapes with surfaces and then use "thinken" operation to make a 4 or 5mm wall to all head but it is really dificult because solidworks give me erros when 5mm wall intesect with himself (very poblably).
Please any idea is welcommed!!!

Insert and position them into the cylinder head part model
Use the Combine tool to create the internal voids

Also, if you are intending to machine the head from a solid block of material, then using regular cut-extrudes to simulate the machining process would give the required result.
