...I wish the engine in my car looked like this :) ...This particular engine is modified by the owner... He has put both a turbo and a supercharger to this 4 cylinder engine... then he put that engine into an old Opel Manta... It pumps out some serious power!
As I was out on the drive and had the bonnet side off I grabbed a photo of the engine as I still get quite excited about how it looks with the curvy intake piping (even though no one will ever see it).
I really need to sort out that rats nest of connectors for the lighting wiring at some point in the future
Old technologies survive long after newer ones are invented. If a machine is economical, it is kept. Since the owners of this Newcomen engine fueled it with waste coal, they had no need for more efficient, more complex engines. Although this engine was obsolete technologically when it was built, it nevertheless worked well and was still being used in 1929.

Armstrong-Whitworth were the result of a merger between Armstrong Mitchell & Co and Joseph Whitworth who invented the famous screw threads that bear his name. Armstrong-Whitworth went on to make cars and trucks, aircraft, armaments, ships, bridges, locomotives and road rollers. Needless to say, all the nuts and bolts on this roller have a Whitworth thread - the owner said that there are "none of those foreign bolts on my engine".
I took this picture as this would be the last time I would see Engine-Ear Toys. On July 31, 2011, this store closed as Disney California Adventure prepares for the new Buena Vista Street stores. This area will now be closed for a year.
