Based on what we have been told I am guessing that the cam bearings will be installed directly into the cover. This eliminates the need for individual bearing caps cutting down on the total number of parts. This would also mean the valve cover is truly an integral mechanical part of this engine.

I agree! We also know that this motor (engine) has been designed to use a "timing chain" instead of a belt, as Paul explained "for engine longevity". So I ask myself, would EM overlook something like "cam bearings?" All we can see in the pics is a "casting" that could VERY EASILY be machined for...

...completely "new". It is designed by IAC. They A stellar reputation and have designed for Mercedes, BMW, and many others. It will use a timing chain instead of a belt, for longevity. It will be a 2-valve head, but with "up to date" combustion chamber & intake design. Yea, probably not the best...

Just keep in mind 17K or even 50K reservations, isn't going to put a dent in the amount of funding this company needs to get this thing off the ground. Anyone can produce a few hundred prototypes with the money they have got so far, the 800 pound gorilla in the room is the cost to go to real...

...testing by IAV an independent engineering firm. From what I have seen it is loosely based on the g10 but has an aluminum block, timing chain, variable cam timing, more efficient intake and exhaust, modern engine management, and is a higher static compression ratio. The IAV engine is scheduled...

...usage more accurately which leads to the outstanding gas mileage that we will achieve, 84 mpg on the highway. Q. Are we going to use a timing chain or belt? The all-aluminum, liquid cooled Elio engine will use a timing chain. We chose to go with the timing chain because of durability. Q...
