That's quite a feat.

If that were me, cylinder #9 wouldn't fire on idle for no apparent reason ; )

He's engineered 2 RD350LC engines together. Sounded pretty awesome!!

It's interesting how he's done the crank, with two conrods side by side on the same big end bearing.

When Allan Millyard made his V12 Kawa from two Z1300s, he had a set of special "Y" rods made that had a secondary big end above the crank.

I bet the cam timing took a bit of head-scratching to work out :shock:
