Check this out, no way will this be cloned in the near future, if ever..This is the engine, still trying to download the supercharger.. Here it is...
Picture of 1 of the cams, gives a new meaning to "precision"
Might be running with supercharger next week...
Big brother, 80cc twin race engine...A 250 or 275 twin is well on the way, the 80cc twin is in a F1 Kelly Giant scale race plane to be raced this year...Last I heard the prop was a 20-20 running about 10,000 rpm....
Before a moderator moves these pictures to the glow forum, my ignition is on a later version of the single and will be on the twin....
These are old pictures, the engines are currently being tested with Walbro carbs...
There are no foreign parts in the engines, the owner made every part in his machine shop except for the bearings and screws, and the cam drive belts...

5,000 previously not to busy Chinese are as we speek very busy.

It looks as though those valve covers should have "Corvette" written on them. <G>

The photos of that engine were posted a long time ago. Since there is no casting shrink a Chinese aerospace firm with high quality CNC equipment, tooling and spare time could copy and pump them out, IF there was a market.

They are pretty but how about some photos of newly manufactured engines?

I give credit to the machinist that created these jewels.
