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 (over 30 weeks at 40 hours) 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 "underhead" cams with pushrods to rockers in the heads. And he did break-in using an electric drill driving the crankshaft!

Ill never forget an old engineer's passing comment while we were repairing a machine, "Man builds everything,, fairies create F all"

Wow.

How did he get the compression - were there rings?

I'm guessing so - there were ring grooves cut into the pistons. Would hate to try to assemble that!

Absolutely amazing. I want one.

Thanks for posting!
