World's smallest V-12

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!

Cool stuff. I've worked on some of the LARGEST V-12's made. 2,500 CID Packards, and 2,240 CID Rolls Royce Griffons. Made in the '40's and some of the nices parts ever made.

That is one of the coolest things Ive ever seen, thanks for sharing.

I would love to work on one of those big rolls or packards

To me it just looks like an air driven motor..

Now he needs to make the world's smallest car to put it in. Thanks for sharing.

AMAZING!!!!
