Never be beaten by equipment

YOU HAVE GOT TO WATCH THIS CLIP, ITS 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!
