Guest bofusmosby Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 OPERATIONAL V-12 DIESEL ENGINE THAT FITS IN THE PALM OF YOUR HANDTHERE ARE STILL SOME REAL ENGINEERS IN THE WORLD---THIS IS AMAZING.....Watch it all the way through, he machines, assembles and runs this little engine...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 "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 appreciate this!The world's tiniest V12 engine.
