Those engines are "limited run" castings.
I knew I only needed four of them so I didn't spend much time making the molds. There was a bit more flash on the pieces than there should be and it took several attempts to get good copies out of the mold. I was very happy to have been able to find a good master, in this case an Accurate Miniatures SBD-1 kit. The SBD-1 used a R-1820-32 and the YB used a -33, a perfect match!
