World's smallest V-12

[williamsGN]

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.
