Hi All -
I was called in to do a recording session last week. The studio was next to a very small machine shop in north Denver. While on break, I saw a guy outside looking over what appeared to be a really small piston/rod assembly. Turns out he is in a club where they build exact replicas of vintage Offenhauser motors - but at quarter scale. He emailed me the attached pictures. They run on alchohol and litterally every piece is hand made. Pretty amaizing stuff. He said one of the club members also built a quarter scale dyno - but that doesn't make sense to me - wouldn't measuring the HP be irrelevant to the size of the dyno? Cool stuff. Attached image(s)
