This is not CNC technology This guy made everything at home on his lathe and drill press. It took 1220 hours (a year and a half?) to make the 261 pieces. Note the end-loaded crankshaft into the block, 12 individual cylinder heads, TINY rods and pistons, dual "underhead" cams with push rods 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 love this!
Apparently the builder's name is Yesus Wilder and he only used three materials to build the engine. Stainless steel, aluminum, and bronze.
