Yes, I think we're all aware of what Werner Von Braun constructed at Peenemunde, (didn't click your link - that's from memory ;)), mine was a sort of joke too - the last thing that engine could possibly be described as is a rocket of any kind.

Flaccid and thirsty yes, rocket no.

Ah. That is the trouble with the Tinterweb. Sometimes difficult to assess posts and others knowledge, skills and age. My humblest................

The closest I came in style was a Kwak z1 chop. Not hardtailed not v powered. Straight bars. Heavy as hell but a great pose.

If that is a picture of the Carberry engine, that is a 1000cc lump, 55 degree V, and about to go into limited production in Australia I believe.

Well I have just managed to find a couple of J.A.Prestwich conrods.
I'll need to get a crankpin made up, but that'll be interesting!
