why do you talk over him at 7:30? He was telling his story about the only other one in existence, and where it is! I want to know where the only other one is!
The key to the low RPM idle is the big flywheel. Love this old engines. The Deuce and a Half Army truck in the 60's had a multifuel engine - not sure about today's military trucks.
mike klaene Doesn't mean low idle is GOOD for them, just nice to hear, like old Harleys. But those have zero oil pressure idling (but still have flow), and that's why most guys shut 'em down b4 long. We let one go half a day once at 350-400 rpm, but finally fouled the plug.
I had a Viva with the Bosch engine as a young fella. I was working at a service station where the mechanic told me they had built a 'Brabham' spec version in NZ. So I eventually found the specs for the engine then the mechanic rebuilt it to those specs. The same engine was used in Oz in the first Holden Torana's, so luckily (or unluckily lol ) there were plenty of parts available.
Machinery is no longer made primarily for utility. They are made for maximal profit by using the least amount of the cheapest material. Things like cars are designed to wear out and require replacement. This engine was designed to operate 24/7 for decades and be easy to rebuild. Very neat presentation. Thank you.
hey this thing is great. I have one as well and love the pony motor setup. I am looking for the smp covers on the left side. i would appreciate any help I can get and enjoy listening to yours run
And keep the camera upright.

@@garychandler4296 Idling for a long period without a load, the combination isn't good.
@@stephenhunter70 You're right of course, but we were doing an "idle off" competition for big twins...the Harley won.
"cars from the 60's were bullet proof" lol Nope!
JFK's wasn't!
Yup they needed more maintenance too and didn't last as long 50 to 75 thousand for the average car or truck.

Please put a guard around the moving parts so if someone slips or trips they do not fall into the machinery. Safety for yourself and others.
Neat old engine, thanks for uploading.
How many spark plugs does this engine have per cylinder? Looks like 4.
Wonderful old engine. it is obviously in great condition. any idea what year it was built?
Nice but schitt video!!!..... video caca!!.... video de mierda!!!...
It's amazing what use to be made here in America and just how long Quality American made products lasted.
That has to be the biggest gasoline multi-cylinder engine I have ever seen.

It's something how humans waste time and money on junk.
Oh please. Who voted you in to decide what is and what isn’t junk? If you don’t like the video piss off wanker.
