V-12 DIESEL ENGINE THAT FITS IN THE PALM OF YOUR HAND


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 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....


The world's tiniest V12 engine. [VIDEO]

Awesome craftsmanship, But the true question is how much HP/Torque does it produce?:naughty: Might swap my 4.7L for one if it's worth the gain.:wink2:

I saw that video on another forum a few years ago and it was just as cool back then too. Incredible what people can accomplish.
