  • Not healthy, but awesome

    That is quite a lot of smoke, this is one cool engine
    Unique 7 cylinder radial marine engine run by it's owner Dean who is on staff at the Mystic Seaport.
    Rumors of my demise by rollover have been greatly exaggerated.

          Junky rings let those bottom cylinders fill with oil?

            I know nothing about the oiling systems of a radial engine. :-\

                radials fight gravity for oil leaking into the combustion chamber - imagine the green peace folks watching that in horror.

                I'm guessing by the sandy soil, and the vintage outboard on the stand next to this gem - that this dude plans on putting it on an air boat --- and one fast freaking airboat that would be!
                There's always something new to learn.
