Some real engineering.

Take a look at the video - http://www.wimp.com/tiniestengine/

Immense!

Pretty sure he could get some noisier cans on it though lol

[Kevinb]

If he was skilled he would have had four valves per cylinder ;D

Amazing!!! 8-)

I don't get it. How does it run without spark plugs? Or have I missed something? :-?

And overhead cams ;D

Nice bit of machining tho 8-)

diesel ? pump/injectors driven off the crank?

Beautiful !!! 8-)

Compressed air via the hose?

Very cool... 8-)

+1 on compressed air - didnt see any spark plugs, or a piston ring being fitted?

The little methanol r/c car engines can run on a glowplug system, but that is a 2cycle engine, not a 4cycle.

Clever though! Very talented...

[Mark_Able]

Yeah, clever, but pointless if it's a diesel... ;D

Was more impressed by the guy that built a perfect scale replica of a Ferrari racer, complete with running flat 12. The gearbox, pedals, suspension, all worked like the full size car. 8-)
