Holy crap the amount of detail that went in to creating that is just fantastic. The true scale didn't dawn on me until he had the cylinder and con-rod assembly next to his hand and it was smaller than his index finger.

He is a Spanish retired naval mechanic, they interview´d him on the Radio.
The engine runs on compressed air, its a model for educational purposes. But it does have compression and all the parts are functional, just no fuel/emissions.
He repaired and transformed the lathe he uses, and a lot of the work is done by filing the parts like the camshafts.
He has more videos of the build, and other engines here:
