Blackmac Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 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. http://www.wimp.com/tiniestengine/ Have Fun, Don 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gwk Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 Just think, if it had been a 4 cylinder, how much more time he would have had for beer! An amazing acomplishment! Thanks Don 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grasshopper Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 Mind-boggling! Is that something you'd have the patience for, Don? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
