OPERATIONAL V-12 DIESEL ENGINE THAT FITS IN THE PALM OF YOUR HAND.
This is not CNC technology; this guy made everything at home on
his lathe and drill press. Took 1220 hours (a year and a half?) to
make the 261 pieces. Note the end-loaded crankshaft into the block
(like an Offy), 12 individual cylinder heads, TINY rods and
pistons, dual "under head" cams with pushrods to rockers in the
heads. And, he did break-in runs using an electric drill driving
the crankshaft!
Even if you're not an engineer, you'll appreciate this!
