    For Ooe

    Brilliant .


    Even if you’re not an engineer you’ll marvel at the skill s of this man
    OPERATIONAL V-12 DIESEL ENGINE THAT FITS IN THE PALM OF YOUR HAND

    THERE ARE STILL SOME REAL ENGINEERS IN THE WORLD---

    THIS IS AMAZING.....Watch it all the way through, he machines, assembles and runs this little engine...

    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 (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 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 appreciate this!

    I want it on record somewhere that I wasn't the one that brought SWWNBN into this thread.








































    But I wholeheartedly endorse it....

    Yeah well, he's a smart man, we all know how this is going to end.

    He's going to comment and then everybody will chime in with pics of SWWNBN and he's going to reciprocate with insults and that's all well and good but then you won't let it go and you're going to hang on to him like a cheap groupie hangs around Ozzie Osborne, and then you'll finally ask him to Skype and then Benny will get involved.

    It's self preservation on his part not to get involved.....

    May I remind you, you are not everybody.

    P.S. WTF is SWWNBN

    I dunno...

    I'm used to saying "Celine" or as someone pointed out some time ago, "SWITCH" (She Who Is The Colonel's Honey).

    I've never actually used the term SWWBN, or whatever it's called around here.

    All I know is that a combination of those letters are used to describe Sexy Celine......
