Looked like the v12 was running on it's own to me. The long tubes sticking way out was the air intakes or something, I think. The muffler was the silver can on one end.

The tubes were the exhaust, intake was the oval thing on top, tank appears to be for lube.

Looking at it closer, it appears it's powered by compressed air (the plastic tube), not internal combustion.

I noticed that too. Since it runs on compressed air there's no need for it to be a 4 stroke.

That is awesome...I like all the work put into the crank...it was so shiny.

On a side note I wonder if he used ARP studs for those heads?
