Tiniest V-12 Diesel Engine
10 mins long, so allow enough time. It is worth it.
YOU HAVE GOT TO WATCH THIS CLIP, IT’S AMAZING VIDEO OF TRUE CRAFTSMANSHIP.
AN 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!
Funny thing is, I bet it is built better and has more horsepower than a Duramax!
