Smallest V12 diesel engine

[hotrs2000]

This was sent to me at work, this guy has Patience of a Saint and is extremely skilful!!!
OPERATIONAL V-12 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 (a year and a half?) 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 push-rods to rockers in the heads. And, he did break it in using an electric drill driving the crankshaft!
Even if you're not an engineer, you'll love this!

Increadible work/video and very relaxing to watch it too(...somehow, I was just waiting to hear his wife coming in, moaning; "..working on that silly engine NOW AGAIN...").

Amazing work that as well, and very strange to hear J. Clarkson doing a serious interview..., for once!
