| These pictures were taken at a small engine show in southern California in the summer of 2003. I don't know anything more about the engine than the comments below which are based on a conversation I had with the owner at that time. I don't know what the advantages were supposed to be but the owner mentioned that there were problems with getting it up to an efficient operating temperature due to the cylinder being submerged. |
