This is pretty cool. Impressive, and quite the hobby:

I wonder if it has overheating issues?
He did not give any torque values for those head bolts. Interesting he used bolts and not ARP studs.

So it runs on compressed air?

The cylinder heads looked air cooled like a motorcycle and he did put a distributor on it for spark with what looks like fuel in the clear tube. How he gets fuel and spark to each cylinder, I have no clue.

It probably ignites from compression like a diesel or nitro powered RC car.
