Not sure if this posted before, but well worth watching if you've not seen it.

Yep posted a couple of weeks or so back but it is awesome isn't it? He has built a whole range including a V6, V8 and flat 6.

Good stuff & great skills

is it running off compressed air or something? No carbs etc.

Flipping amazing skills, but not sure if i'd have gone to the effort.

Runs on compressed air, hence the engine speed cams.

I'd have lost patience before the block was finished.

Saw This in the science museum Under a magnifying glass still couldn't see many of the 100 odd parts

1220 hours! Obviously got too much time on his hands... however very nice only being let down running on compressed air, because I think only 'working' engines that run on comp air should be steam powered...

Here's a real one then for those that were disappointed with a compressed air driven one. Listen to it rev!
