Liberty L-12 Aircraft Engine
The Liberty engine was designed at the request of the U.S. Government's Aircraft Production Board in May 1917. Designed in only five days it became one of the most produced and successful early American aircraft engines. The engine was specifically designed to be easy to mass produce and more than 20,000 were produced between 1917 and 1919. Most of the major and many smaller automobile manufacturers in the U.S. were given contracts to produce Liberty engines. This particular one was built by the Lewis Spring and Axle Company of Chelsea, Michigan.

993cc of pushrod power...no seriously, this venerable unit first saw service in 1962 and packs more torque than the buzzing 3-cylinder Family 1 that succeeded it.

I chemically stripped the paint from the camshaft cover but everytime I finished cleaning it oxidised and left white powdery residue. So I decided to have it shot blasted. Nice matt finish ready for primer.
