Or in a racing mower!

Wow.
Coming from a engineering background this is brilliant. Would love to get a lathe and mill to do some handy work. Did do a piston for display purpose once. Still got it in my cabinet with my 1/18th diecasts.

I remember seeing someone building a 1/4 scale v8 spirit car years ago in street machine magazine.
Must dig up my stash of old mags to find a pic..

Love'n it. You have got me inspired to did something.

Absolutely beautiful! I have always wanted to build a little steam engine or a Stirling engine just never got around to it.

I might have to dust off the Unimat.

I admire your skill. Brilliant.

Uploaded a couple of vids where I'm using an electric drill to turn the crank, just to show the valves and rockers operating.
