      If I remember that one, he only runs it on air. However, the next step is this, from Top Gear:

          I have seen and heard a 1/4 scale 270 CI Offy engine run and sounds like a real one and runs on Alky. Guy who build those engines are amazing.

              That was truly amazing. My hands started to cramp after watching him fasten down all the hardware for the heads and lifters.

                          Really impressive. My wife's brother-in-law makes telescope mounts used by amateur and some professional astronomers all over the world and he does all of the machining himself (with programmable CNC tools), but they're nothing like this.
