Holy crow!
Even a non-techy like me can see the endless possibilities that setup can provide.
How the valves work doesn't matter for a car never leaves the garage.
:lol
Great find though...the new ideas being investigated are amazing to me, who saw so little engineering improvements during the gas crises of the 70's.
I'm curious where the OEM's are on this.

Interesting Ralph.
Did not see him put piston rings on during the assembly.
And the harmonic damper is huge for the size of the engine. Likely due to the method of making the crankshaft.
That is cool and I followed a few other links to some other miniatures. Neat stuff. I have to ask though, if you are old school then why aren't you driving a real GT40 and not that modern replica ha?
Agreed, beautiful art but once it hits any RPM, that little jewel is going to fly apart in a million pieces.
Talented lathe operator. Thanks Ralphie, I forwarded it on to all my Gearhead buddies.
