This guy made this entire engine on a lathe, mill and CNC machine...in his shop. Things about the size of a corded drill.

Did I mention it's blown?

An oldie but a goodie! Not sure this has been in the motor section before but it's been in the multi-media area a few times.

well it's running on Alchy so it should sound like it. My man has some skills and some time on his hands. I bet his son has the fastest go kart in town, or he has the best lawnmower in the world.

When I went to Good Guys West Coast Nationals this summer there was a whole club there with mini motors. You can buy basic raw components like blocks and raw crank forgings and stuff but you have to pretty much make all the rest.
