Working V12 engine that fits in your hand

[k1w1noz]

Check out this video of a bloke who machined and made a working V12 model engine.

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-in using an electric drill driving the crankshaft!

Awesome find!!!!! I love this sort of stuff.

The build itself is incredible however the engineering required to design every part and to make it a working machine is phenomenal!

Wow! I bet his wife rues the day he brought that lathe home! Lol

That's awesome, lot of time and effort, way more patience than i have..

There is NO way I could do this. All the tiny little parts would end up all over the floor... I have trouble with full size parts at the best of times..

Absolutely amazing machine work, kinda wondering how it "works" though as it appears in the video that the camshafts rotate at crank speed.

lets put it on an engine dyno.

No probs - is often hard to search and check when search doesn't allow 3 character terms like V12. :mad:
