My former classmate sent me this video. The man that did all this machining is quite a craftsman. Enjoy, Hal

I didn't see the oil pump, but he must of had someway to lube the engine. We ran V12 cylinder engines on a stationary dynamometer after the engine was torn down and measured. These engines were made by Continental Motors out of MI. They were 1790cid gas with turbochargers. They were used in some M47 Tanks and the M48 Tank
and the late M48's had the 1790 V12 Diesels before the M60 was built. We ran them on the test stand too for 240 hours. The same company built the diesels and these were all air cooled engines. We also ran drawbar and full load cooling tests on these vehicles. Hal
PS: Here's the Heavy Field Dynamometer we used for drawbar and cooling tests.

If you want a big bunch of those type projects, go to this show in the Detroit area:
http://www.namesexposition.com/ It will be held April 21, 22, 2012.
It is the North American Model Engineering Society. I have not looked for the videos yet but in the past, they had running versions of Offy Indy engines, Harley motorcycle, flathead Ford engines, almost anything you could imagine.

El Toro: Thanks for the link.. I saw a model V-12 of the Rolls Royce Merlin in a Model airplane mag maybe 10-15 years ago. It was maybe twice the size but was able to run by itself. Either one is really a joy to see. Gotta have good eyes and a steady hand doing that kind of work.. There are a couple model engine companies in Japan. OS Max makes some very good 4 stroke model engines in many sizes and multi cylinder inline as well as radial etc.. www.osengines.com/ take a look.. ag
good Model engines from Japan
