Nice audio, as are the others on Youtube.
Now think about this for a minute. I have a 1.5L engine in my midget. It has 4
cylinders. Each is about 3" in diameter. Those pistons must be about the
diameter of a quarter or a 50 cent piece. to cram 16 into 1.5L.
Makes ya kinda sit back and think of the engineers on that thing.
