It was the only way to get some shots without 20 people around each one!

The design and dimensions of these components reveal much about how today’s Fl engines extract 800 horsepower from just 3.0 liters of displacement. The diameter of this piston measuresRead more about Yanking The Crank At 18,000 rpm[…]
