That is amazing.

Must run on compressed air.

It only took 1220 hours to build, and a Diesel to boot!

It's fantastic! I am truly amazed by the manufacturing precision those pieces are made with. Just look at that rocker arm mechanism, it is incredible. No CNC, all made by hand, wonderful. That gentleman is a true artist of mechanics!

That engine is something else.
Thanks for the link.
