Yeah, it's real all right. Only 98cc. The story behind it is amazing, this guy is not only super talented he's totally focussed.
Read all about his engine project with more pics and vids here:

Great stuff but these days loads of people are doing stuff like this
I am working on a Bentley BR2 rotary engine - the type where the cylinders actually spin around a stationary crank. LOADS of work to do though - will take me years to finish!!!
If you thought that V8 was small look at this - also the Bentley.

Apologies once again for bothering your exalted self with such trivia.

Of course YOU would never do such a thing........
When I am in the wrong I will be the first to admit it and I NEVER launch personal attacks - unlike some people who take every opportunity they can!!!!

Wonder what the stats are; bhp, torque, rpm etc. He said he was tuning it to run on alcohol - nice!
And you know what I bet if he priced up the material and time it'd still come in below marine engine parts...hmm Wonder if he has any mates who done an OB motor
