Might be in the wrong section- but it deserves a bow

That's some feat of engineering how the hell do you remember where you are setting it up.

Speechless.

Near enough 78 LITRES !

42 cylinder Russian radial engine ......

Don't tell Stein - he'll want to put it in the first Gen !

That's a serious engine. I'm guessing that it's out of an airplane of some description. 7 banks of cylinders, and the distributor caps seem to suggest 18 spark plugs per bank, 3 per cylinder. 42 cylinders, with 128 valves! Wonder how many gallons to the foot it does.

At a guess, around 10-20 GPM (gallsons per mile)

My starlet gt turbo did 9.7 MPG, but nowhere near the amount of flames out the exhaust that that thing kicks out...

What would Mr.Brown say to THOSE emission levels?!

Wouldn't it be 39litres per detonation of fuel in the piston chamber if it holds 78 litres??

Bugger how many gallons to the mile, who would want to grind in the 128 Valves!!

[BUSHWHACKER]

All that effort and they fit crappy wheels on the front!

Dont see the point meself. Those engines belong in aeroplanes.

However, here's some vid of that thing, and others.
