Tiniest V-12 Diesel Engine
YOU'VE GOT TO WATCH THIS CLIP. IT’S AN AMAZING VIDEO OF TRUE CRAFTSMANSHIP.


AN OPERATIONAL V-12 DIESEL ENGINE THAT FITS IN THE PALM OF YOUR HAND.


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 "underhead" 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 love this.
