That’s amazing. Looks almost more like a watch than an engine. If you haven’t seen these videos, they are worth your time. This thing is a work of art.

Definitely bears the marks of being back-engineered into a radial rather than designed ground-up - since it doesn’t have a common journal. OTOH, the Guiberson and some others have been separate journaled like this.

I wonder what firing order it will use. Since it’s not common journal, there’s no actual need for the same kind of sequential firing other than smoothness.

I was just going to comment: “Weaksauce radial, they just geared them together rather than making it a shared journal”

They could have made it cam-action for the lulz.

There are several precedents on geared multi-crank radials, like the Bristol Hercules:

I know I’ve seen one that was geared, single-bank, and had only eight cylinders, which for some reason I was thinking was a Guiberson diesel, but I was wrong.
